caching included makefile contents |

I'm trying to cache the contents of included makefiles with the following
functions:
# sets __FILE__ macro to file to be included, then includes the file.
# allows included file to know where it is in relation to includer.
# $(1) is the file to be included
# $(2) is the current value of $(__FILE__)
define _include-makefile
__FILE__ := $(1)
ifndef $$(__FILE__).contents
$$(__FILE__).contents := $$(shell cat $$(__FILE__))
endif
$$(__FILE__)
__FILE__ := $(2)
endef
# include makefile passing in its name as __FILE__
# $(1) is the file to be included
include-makefile = $(eval $(call _include-makefile,$(1),$(__FILE__)))
which are used in the following way:
$(call include-makefile,Another.mk)
but it's generating the error:
GNUmakefile:37: *** missing separator. Stop.
I think it's a white space issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to
work around it?
Thanks,
Noel
