Oh.  Clearmake.  You're screwed.

If you're restricted to the capabilities of clearmake -C gnu, then you
have no chance.  You'll have to generate makefiles.  And, clearmake
doesn't support GNU make's auto-re-exec method so you'll have to
actually do this by invoking clearmake twice, explicitly.

Sorry.  Be sure to thank your friendly neighborhood ClearCase support
rep.
