This is not a bug, this is intended behavior.

See the GNU make manual, section "How the 'MAKE' Variable Works".

I built make 3.80 on Solaris 2.7 using gcc 2.95.2.

The following comment refers to the attachement Makefile, which contains both the makefile and the commented output log.

When calling this make with the following command:
make --debug=basic --dry-run e

With the "e" action that includes "${MAKE}", this action IS EXECUTED despite the fact that --dry-run is specified.

When I perform the same command on target "a", which is identical to target "e" execpt for the fact that "make" is litterally included instead of using ${MAKE}, then the "a" action is NOT executed.

I was using these command line arguments in order to determine what targets were executed in a makefile with the objective to produce a shell script where I could then automatically insert pre and post target actions without having to modify the original makefile...
