two potentially-useful enhancements to GNU make?

Two possible things that I think would help in debugging
complex GNU make stuff:

1. Some way to see what $(shell ...) did; what shell command
   *exactly* did make try to run, and what does it think it
   got back from the command?

2. A make equivalent to 'gcc -E', i.e. "just show me what
   you get when you slurp through all of the make
   include'ry".

Just a thought; I can supply a little more 'rationale' if
required; keep up the good work.
