Hi!

I'm trying to add a prefix to every line from a recursive make(1), so
that I know what's going on, but it breaks -Orecurse.

$ cat Makefile 
.PHONY: all f b foo bar
all: f b;

f:
	$(info	MAKE	foo)
	@$(MAKE) foo | sed 's,^,MAKE	foo:	,'
b:
	$(info	MAKE	bar)
	@$(MAKE) bar | sed 's,^,MAKE	bar:	,'

foo:
	$(info	CC	foo)
	@sleep 1
	@echo errors from cc foo >&2
bar:
	$(info	CC	bar)
	@echo errors from cc bar >&2


$ make -j24 --no-print-directory -Orecurse
MAKE	bar
errors from cc bar
MAKE	bar:	CC	bar
MAKE	foo
errors from cc foo
MAKE	foo:	CC	foo


Do you know if there's a way to achieve something like this thing
without breaking -Orecurse?

Thanks!

Have a lovely night!
Alex

P.S.: Usually, I'd avoid recursive make, but for having a `distcheck`
target, I specifically need to create the tarball, and then run MAKE
from within that tarball.
