This is a shell question, not a GNU make question. If you do this: $ echo 'all:;@env' | make -f- you'll see that make _does_ export the function variable to the processes it invokes, just as it would any other environment variable.
the 'set' command outputs the functions.
If they don't show up in the subshell it means that the shell is not processing them. Perhaps bash ignores functions unless it's invoked as an interactive shell.
My shell is interactive. Running my function in a subshell from the terminal works fine: [greg@p3 project]$ (xmsubdirs) subdir1 subdir2
You'll have to ask on the bash help/bug lists.
There is no bash help list that I could find.
The bash homepage on savannah lists no mailing lists.
Sorry to bother you if it has nothing to do with bash. I'll try comp.unix.shell.
