(1) Lots of examples were discussed in the mailing list in the past.

The list archive is available at:

http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/help-make/

(see the List-Archive: mail header).

I couldn't find a search option -- however, you can download the 736K
archive and search using your mailer. If your mailer cribs, just remove
the first blank line using your text editor. I could find about 20
messages containing 'recurs' in their body.

(2) I presume you have already seen the 'Recursion' node of the info.

(3) Visit the wonderful site by Paul D. Smith:

http://paulandlesley.org/gmake/

The article titled 'Multi-Architecture builds using GNU make' uses
recursion.

Everything in this site can be termed 'gmake gems'.

HTH.
