You might check the latest beta.  I believe there were some issues with
-B in 3.80 that have been fixed.

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.81beta4.tar.gz

If that doesn't help please create a small, self-contained makefile that
illustrates the problem and post it here; it's difficult to tell what
might be wrong from the bits above.


Good luck!
