Indeed:
`-B'
`--always-make'
Consider all targets out-of-date. GNU `make' proceeds to consider
targets and their prerequisites using the normal algorithms;
however, all these targets are remade, regardless of the status of
their prerequisites.
`-n'
`--just-print'
`--dry-run'
`--recon'
Print the commands that would be executed, but do not execute them.
*Note Instead of Executing the Commands: Instead of Execution.
Though you might get into trouble with quoting.
