```
GNU make automatically passes the -w option when -C is used.  On
systems where GNU make is called "gmake", invoking "make" from within
the Makefile will run a make that may not understand that option:

$ gmake -C Documentation/ clean
gmake: Entering directory `/usr/home/dennis/tmp/cogito/Documentation'
make -C tutorial-script clean
make: don't know how to make w. Stop
gmake: *** [clean] Error 2
