Erm, well, it's kind of a bug and kind of not. GNU make is doing just
as it's been documented to do, it's just that it doesn't work very well
for re-execed makefiles.
Try the beta for the next version of GNU make, which can be found here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.81beta3.tar.gz
and see if that works better.
