Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for the patches Dmitry.

When looking at the test results I noticed that we were leaving the temporary
files behind if we had to re-exec, because the re-exec'd version of make
didn't realize they were temporary.

I decided to fix this, rather than apply the changes you provided.  However I
preserved the tests you wrote.

What I did was create a new command line option which is only used by make
when it re-execs itself, to specify that the filename provided is a temporary
batch file.  When the re-exec'd make sees that option it manages that file as
a temporary file: it marks it as up to date and it will delete the file when
it exits.  Because of this, we no longer need that extra "-o" option either.

I changed the argv updates accordingly: also I didn't try to preserve the
exact command line options that the user provided.  I converted all makefile
options from whatever they were (--file <foo>, --makefile <foo>, --file=<foo>,
--makefile=<foo>) into simply "-f<foo>".

To allow this to be tested I added another hack :( to the test framework: if
the makefile string provided to run_make_test() is the empty string then the
test framework doesn't add any -f options when it invokes make.  A few tests
that had used the empty string were updated to pass a blank line instead.
