There's a regression in v4.4 where if you invoke make with both -C and -I
parameters, the include directory specified by -I is not seen in the Makefile
by the include directives it contains.

for example let's consider a folder containing these files/folders:

inc/test  (empty file included by Makefile)
src/Makefile

Makefile has this content


include test

all:


In that folder, this execution fails, as the include directive is not taken
into account -I../inc (the bug):


make -C src -I../inc all
make: Entering directory '/tmp/make_include_bug/src'
Makefile:1: test: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'test'.  Stop.
make: Leaving directory '/tmp/make_include_bug/src'


v4.3 works fine (no error), as well as:


(cd src ; make -I../inc all)


So it is really the combination of -C and -I that does not work anymore.

I have attached a small archive with the folder structure above.

This regression was initially discovered when compiling sbcl which is using
such construct.
