I don't really understand what the ask is here, exactly. Maybe you could enumerate (at least some of) "all situations"? By "situations" do you mean, locations in the makefile? The $(info ...) function is available everywhere... Another option is to use the --print-database (-p) option. Is that more what you had in mind?
