Hi,

I noticed that 'make -n' (dry run) is not always like dry, like
mentioned in the help:

  -n, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon
    Don't actually run any commands; just print them.

In my case I have an include statement, which include files which
aren't available at make-start-time, but make knows how to generate
them.

Thus the bug is: If I run 'make -n' then the commands to generate the included
files are actually run.

I am using make 3.81.

Best regards
Georg Sauthoff
