Yes, you're right.

This is PR/1465 in the GNU bug database, an enhancement request that's
still on the TODO list.  Actually, it's already done for make 3.80 (but
3.80 won't be ready for a while yet).

See the GNU make README file or my web site below for a link to the GNU
bug database if you'd like to check it out.

Thx.
