GNU make would however be required to add an attempt to remake an include file just before it is going to be opened. Clearly that's not going to work. First, as I already explained above, currently it is not possible for GNU make to transition back from "building targets" to "reading makefiles" and implementing this new behavior would be a very significant amount of work. This is not just a simple little change. Second, it would mean that for every included makefile GNU make would have to try to build it twice: once before it was included and then again after all makefiles are read in. Third, it's not possible to be backward compatible. Consider this situation: all: %.mk : ; echo 'all: ; echo foo' > $@ include foo.mk foo.mk: ; echo 'all: ; echo bar' > foo.mk In current GNU make the result will be "echo bar". After the change you suggest, the result will be "echo foo".
