Just be aware that --debug=print is a new feature as of GNU Make 4.4. You shouldn't rely on users having access to it, unless you're willing to recommend that version (or higher). I reminded myself that the --trace option is a shortcut for --debug=print,why and so I will rework all this help text to just recommend this instead. It gives you most of the information you would want. -- Paul D.
