Description

If you set a breakpoint on a target but the same makefile is called recursively, you won't stop in at the target in the recursive call.

We could save a profile and change the recursive call to read the profile. That may also be a way to deal with issue #26

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the recursive make handling and the breakpoint and profile implementation, then determine how a saved profile could be read by the recursive call; done means a breakpoint set on a target also stops at that target in the recursive invocation.
