I was thinking about this a little more. At first, I requested that the path to
the included makefile reflect that path used to include that makefile. I now
think that this path should reflect the relative path to the primary makefile.
For example, in the following:
# contents of Makefile
include asdf/asdf.mk
Makefile.out:
@echo $(MAKEFILE)
# contents of asdf/asdf.mk
include asdf-1.mk
asdf.out:
@echo $(MAKEFILE)
# contents of asdf/asdf-1.mk
asdf-1.out:
@echo $(MAKEFILE)
the output of "make -Iasdf asdf-1.out" should be:
Makefile asdf/asdf.mk asdf/asdf-1.mk
not:
Makefile asdf/asdf.mk asdf-1.mk

This is closer to what I was thinking. Although, I think they should
come in the order they were read, not in reverse order. Then the first
one is always the "main" makefile, and the last one is always the
current makefile. Both are easy to get using functions. So far I've
had a number of requests for things like this but yours is the first one
that's wanted the name of the makefile currently being parsed, as
opposed to the top level.
nly> How would I submit an RFE?
The URL for the online bug database is available in the GNU make README
file. I also have a link on my site below.
Actually, I notice there's already an RFE for something similar (PR/1446).
