Details:

Supposing 2 makefiles in dir A: 1.mak, 2.mak, and 1.mak include 2.mak.
Now in dir B, 3.mak includes 'A/1.mak' (will auto include 2.mak). But error
shows that 2.mak cannot be found.

The make option "-I" can be the workaround like:
 cd B
 make -f 3.mak -IA

But it's not acceptable to tell user to uses "-I" to make every time. make
shall be able to find 2.mak.
