shell脚本的Zip函数

我想写一个shell脚本 make make DESTDIR=$path $target 对于每对路径和目标。在Python中,我的脚本如下所示:

for path, target in zip(paths, targets):
    exec_shell_command('make DESTDIR=' + path + ' ' + target)

但是,这是我当前的shell脚本:

#! /bin/bash

packages=$1
targets=$2
target=

set_target_number () {
    number=$1
    counter=0
    for temp_target in $targets; do
        if [[ $counter -eq $number ]]; then
            target=$temp_target
        fi
        counter=`expr $counter + 1`
    done 
}

package_num=0
for package in $packages; do
    package_fs="debian/tmp/$package"
    set_target_number $package_num
    echo "mkdir -p $package_fs"
    echo "make DESTDIR=$package_fs $target"
    package_num=`expr $package_num + 1`
done

有没有与Python的zip函数等效的Unix工具,或者有没有更简单的方法从按索引分隔的列表中检索元素?谢谢。
