gmake -n doesnt help during recursive calls to make

[Aditya Kher]

folks,
I am using an elaborate build system that traverses large directory
tree and re-compiles the targets based on the dependencies.
As a part of this, there happen to be separate Makefiles in the
sub-directories which are called with appropriate command line
arguments. The calls are not necessarily done by #include
<Some-Makefile>. They are also done as
${MAKE} <some arguments>

My problem is gmake -n doesn't help in terms of dumping all the
"actual commands"  - since gmake comes out of different sub shells as
it progresses through the building of targets.

Is there any way I can do this?
