Unfortunately, according to the man page for make "The internal
rules for make are contained in the source file rules.c for the
make program," which sort of leaves out those of us without
sources.  There are a number of make sources which are generally
available, one was just posted to one of the comp.sources groups
a week or so ago.  Perhaps you could track down one of them.
