Follow-up Comment #2, bug #29074 (project make):

The reason you see this is that make will automatically try to rebuild every
file that it includes.  Here you include "done", and "done" is out of date, so
make tries to rebuild it before it is included.

But, the rebuild of "done" fails.

But, you have indicated, by using "-include", that you want to not issue an
error if "done" does not exist, so no error is issued.

If you want make to fail when done cannot be built, then you should use
"include" instead of "-include".
