Well, there is one remote possibility. I used it for a while back when
DJGPP Bash wasn't born yet, so I had to use ms_sh (a DOS port of Korn
shell) instead:

	make -n | sh -ex 

Executes the commands, and shows them, too (because of the '-x' flag).
The '-e' flag causes the shell to stop at the command signalling
error.  But for this to work, you have to rely on certain details of
the makefile.  Dependencies must all be there, and there may be no
sub-make invocations.
