Hi All,

I have developed a Makefile which recursively builds the code spread
across multiple directories, each having it's own Makefile.

You may want to reconsider your approach:

Thanks Dave, I went through both the links provided by you and the
make process is pretty much clear to me now. The following two points
I would want elaborate from the paper:
1. As a rule of thumb: always use immediate evaluation assignment
unless you knowingly want deferred evaluation.
2. You will get more accurate builds of your project if you use
whole-project make rather than recursive make.
