Maybe I did :-)
This message appear when you do:
make -C some/dir
When using recursive make files you almost always uses 'make -C ...'
so the original writer get the impression this is something printed
only for make invoked from within make.
What it tells is that
make enter directory 'xxx' and uses normal rule-set to find a Makefile.
Pretty clear when know the make machinery.
And too many programs are dependent on this message for it to
just change wording a bit.

To be able to distingush between two different make instances?
It's anyway insane^Wunsafe to have two make's running in parallel in same dir.
