Details:

Prefixing a line in a canned recipe with + affects all the following lines
(instead of just the prefixed line). In the example below, when running 'make
-n bar' you can see the last echo is being executed even though it is not
prefixed with a +.

$ cat Makefile
define FOO =
        echo a
        +$(MAKE) baz
        echo b
endef

bar:
        $(FOO)

baz:

$ make -n bar
echo a
make baz
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/shaked/Workspace/phd_thesis/temp'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'baz'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/shaked/Workspace/phd_thesis/temp'
echo b
b
