Ask Mr. Make: Tracing rule execution in GNU Make

If you've ever stared at the cryptic log output and asked yourself "What rule caused that output?" or "Where's the output for the foo rule?" then this month's article is for you.And to be honest, who hasn't wondered what exactly Make's log file output means.
This article is about Makefile tracing. Back in October 2004 I wrote about tracing GNU Make macro values (see Makefile Debugging: Tracing Macro Values); here I cover tracing the execution of Makefile rules.
