Note this is _VERY_ hard, because make will fairly often print other
random stuff, like directory information, etc. Safer is the method I
mentioned, where the makefile writes the stuff to a file which the
parent sources; it's easier for the makefile to control the contents of
the file. If you're concerned about security, the parent should
construct a secure area for the file to be written and give it to make
as a command line variable setting.
Jens is right; you basically don't want to do this if at all possible.
