It looks like execve uses argv[0] to run make.

With a VMS/DCL-style version of the Makefile and my mcr version of make
it seems to work:

$ del %.inc;*
$ mc [.make]mcr -f parallelism.mk_2 -j4
THREE.inc
ONE.inc
TWO.inc
ONE
TWO
THREE
success
$
$ del %.inc;*
$ mc [.make]mcr -nf parallelism.mk_2 -j4
mcr eisner$lda2:[usr_ods5.][becker_h.make.make]mcr.exe;1
--no-print-directory -f parallelism.mk_2 "INC=yes" all
THREE.inc
ONE.inc
TWO.inc
ONE
TWO
THREE
success
$

$ type parallelism.mk_2
recurse : ; @$(MAKE) --no-print-directory -f parallelism.mk_2 "INC=yes" all
all : 1 2 ; @write sys$$output "success "

INC = no
ifeq ($(INC),yes)
-include 1.inc 2.inc
endif

1.inc : ; @pipe write sys$$output "ONE.inc" ; wait 0:0:2 ; write
sys$$output "TWO.inc" ; define sys$$output $@ ; write sys$$output "1 : ;
@pipe write sys$$$$output ""ONE"" ; wait 0:0:2 ; write sys$$$$output
""TWO""" ; close sys$$output
2.inc : ; @pipe wait 0:0:1 ; write sys$$output "THREE.inc" ; define
sys$$output $@ ; write sys$$output "2: ; @pipe wait 0:0:1 ; write
sys$$$$output ""THREE""" ; close sys$$output
