Thanks, I tested this, and also the recursive behavior. But I'm not
sure whether the results in some less-than-trivial cases are as
intended (although I see exactly the same behavior on GNU/Linux, so
the questions below are not Windows-specific).
E.g., with this Makefile, called mkfsync, (indented 2 spaces for
clarity):
all: simple recursive
simple: one two
one two:
@echo start $@
@sleep 1
@echo stop $@
@-false
recursive: rec1 rec2
rec1 rec2:
@echo start $@
$(MAKE) -f mkfsync simple
@echo stop $@
and invoking Make as "gnumake -j -O -f mkfsync", I get this output:
gnumake -f mkfsync simple
gnumake -f mkfsync simple
mkfsync:6: recipe for target 'one' failed
gnumake: [one] Error 1 (ignored)
start one
stop one
mkfsync:6: recipe for target 'two' failed
gnumake: [two] Error 1 (ignored)

stop two

Is this intended behavior that these two messages:
mkfsync:6: recipe for target 'two' failed
gnumake[1]: [two] Error 1 (ignored)
are separated and wrapped by separate "Entering...Leaving" blocks,
instead of being produced together? They are both produced by a call
to 'message', which outputs the message to stdout, so it's not like
they went to two different streams. Am I missing something?
If this is intended behavior, can we somehow cut down on these
"Entering...Leaving" pairs? They add a lot of clutter and make it
hard to read the output of a Make run.
