Description
The debugger command, "step" should cause a recursive invocation of make to stop in the recursion. The debugger commands "next", "finish" and "continue" should not.
Gist https://gist.github.com/rocky/2bf8ee0000a1efd53929
has a sample Makefile that can be used to test this. Files that would probably change are step.h, next.h, continue.h, and finish.h in folder debugger/command/, Possibly the routine that sets up the GNUMAKEFLAGS environment variable could be common.
What I think is needed is to change "step", "next", "continue", "finish" to set GNUMAKEFLAGS to include "X" as appropriate.

Research direction
Start with the sample Makefile in the linked gist and inspect debugger/command/step.h, next.h, continue.h, and finish.h. Trace the routine that sets up GNUMAKEFLAGS and compare recursive behavior for the four commands. Done means step stops in recursive make while next, finish, and continue do not.
