:
:That's because under Unix, each line is executed by another instance of 
:the shell.  And since on Unix the current working directory is local to 
:the program, putting a cd on a line by itself does nothing: once the 
:shell that did the cd returns you are back in your previous directory.  
:Under MS-DOS that is not so.

So, if I understood well, there is absolutely no way of perform a 
recursive make in a portable fashion ???
