Follow-up Comment #4, bug #67804 (group make):

Using your same Makefile:


$ make -C $(pwd) -O -j2
make: Entering directory '/home/ossman/tmp/make'
a
make: Leaving directory '/home/ossman/tmp/make'
make: Entering directory '/home/ossman/tmp/make'
b
make: Leaving directory '/home/ossman/tmp/make'
make: Entering directory '/home/ossman/tmp/make'
c
make: Leaving directory '/home/ossman/tmp/make'
make: Entering directory '/home/ossman/tmp/make'
d
make: Leaving directory '/home/ossman/tmp/make'


And it doesn't happen without -O:


$ make -C $(pwd) -j2
make: Entering directory '/home/ossman/tmp/make'
a
b
c
d
make: Leaving directory '/home/ossman/tmp/make'


But this would of course make the directory notifications useless in any
complex project, as you can't match them to other output lines.
