I seem to recall that this was a hack to detect Makefiles that
did this:

	target:
		${MAKE} other-target

when they should really have done this:

	target:
		cd ${.CURDIR} && ${MAKE} other-target


As far as I know, the NetBSD source tree doesn't contain any such broken
Makefiles.  But perhaps pkgsrc or third party sources would still benefit
from this hack?

It breaks for me, for reasons unrelated to make itself.  Just the usual
"-current often doesn't build" problems.
