Hi Noel,
It's also just occurred to me that, using MAKEFILES and the "gmake self
wrapper" trick, you could get what you want without having to patch make.
OTOH, it is a bit more complicated even though the complication is hidden.
How is it hidden? In every makefile you have two write something like
this:
if <MAKEFLAGS need adjustment>
include make-re-executor.make
else
# your code here
endif
This is ugly. If I needed this feature in a project that otherwise
uses vanilla make I would think twice before patching make. But in
my case Rubicon is already crossed.
