>From the info file:
[...] the `-w' or `--print-directory' option can make the output a lot
easier to understand by showing each directory as `make' starts processing
it and as `make' finishes processing it.
However the actual behaviour is that it prints the directory name just
before
the first output that make prints (either from $(warning) or rule
executions).
This means that output to stderr from $(shell) functions executed before the
the first ouput appear before the directory name which is confusing.
Please could the behaviour of make be made to be the same as it is
documented?
Thanks,
