Would you have Make parse the shell command, assuming that SHELL isn't eg
uot; could be expanded to something
like "If the line contains a call to $(MAKE), the entire line will still be
executed, with the -n option passed to the sub-make instance. Be prepared for
side effects of output redirection."

Dear Devs,
I stumbled upon a rather rare case where Make produces a false error with the
--dry-run switch. I've attached a sample Makefile for reproduction.
The output of make main_target with this file is the following:
$ make main_target
mkdir logs
make external_target | tee
