makefile - makefile 中的变量 $(MAKE) 是什么？

Question

我目前正在学习如何编写 makefile。我有以下 makefile(它是为应该在 ARM 芯片上运行的 C 项目自动生成的)，我正在尝试理解它:

    RM := rm -rf

    # All of the sources participating in the build are defined here
    -include sources.mk
    -include FreeRTOS/Supp_Components/subdir.mk
    -include FreeRTOS/MemMang/subdir.mk
    -...
    -include subdir.mk
    -include objects.mk

    ifneq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),clean)
    ifneq ($(strip $(S_UPPER_DEPS)),)
    -include $(S_UPPER_DEPS)
    endif
    ifneq ($(strip $(C_DEPS)),)
    -include $(C_DEPS)
    endif
    endif

    -include ../makefile.defs

    # Add inputs and outputs from these tool invocations to the build variables 

    # All Target
    all: FreeRTOS_T02.elf

    # Tool invocations
    FreeRTOS_T02.elf: $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS)
        @echo 'Building target: $@'
        @echo 'Invoking: MCU GCC Linker'
        arm-none-eabi-gcc -mcpu=cortex-m7 -mthumb -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=fpv5-sp-d16 -specs=nosys.specs -specs=nano.specs -T LinkerScript.ld -Wl,-Map=output.map -Wl,--gc-sections -lm -o "FreeRTOS_T02.elf" @"objects.list" $(USER_OBJS) $(LIBS)
        @echo 'Finished building target: $@'
        @echo ' '
        $(MAKE) --no-print-directory post-build

    # Other Targets
    clean:
        -$(RM) *
        -@echo ' '

    post-build:
        -@echo 'Generating binary and Printing size information:'
        arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary "FreeRTOS_T02.elf" "FreeRTOS_T02.bin"
        arm-none-eabi-size "FreeRTOS_T02.elf"
        -@echo ' '

    .PHONY: all clean dependents
    .SECONDARY: post-build

    -include ../makefile.targets

我正试图围绕 $(MAKE) --no-print-directory post-build 行在制作 .elf 的规则中文件。

我找不到变量 $(MAKE) 的定义，所以我假设它是内置的。这条线实际上在做什么？

这是make本身的递归调用，转发-t、-n和-q选项.这是有道理的:您希望嵌套的 make 调用也使用这些选项运行。
