Hmmm, what if the file info is lost, too? I think I may be willing to live with this, too, especially if there's an option to tell make which behaviour it should use (ie lots of false errors, or fewer real errors with less info).

Is there any way to suppress the "No such file or directory" error generated by "include" unless it's possible to create the included makefile?
I was thinking about fixing this some time ago but apparently to do
it right is going to be messy. As we know make gives an error message with a file name and a line number if makefile is missing and later, if it cannot be built, make just says "unable to build...". Now if we are to postpone the first message until rebuild time then we'll need to store this file:line information somewhere. And that's where things get messy.
I'd rather not use -include because it ignores errors altogether.
My "meantime solution" is to change include to -include once things get stable.
