dynamically building (temp) include file - how to delete on exit? |

Pls consider:
TMPF=$(shell tmpf=$$(mktemp /tmp/ddefs.XXXXXXXXX);build-ddefs.sh >
$$tmpf;echo $$tmpf)
include $(TMPF)
# defines several make macros
Above works so that make includes a freshly built include file, with up to
date macros.
How do I ensure that that $(TMPF) is deleted after make exits, or after
the include line runs?
I seem to recall that putting the "rm $(TMPF)"
in every recipe does work, but I would prefer to do the delete as soon after
the include runs as possible, or when make exits. I'm aware of
an approach that involves a while loop in a shell that polls for the make
process, sleeping, then looping until make dies, then deleting $(TMPF), but I'm
hoping
for a nicer solution.
