What do you mean by recursive makefiles?
A Makefile per directory, with a top-level makefile descending into those subdirectories and invoking (recursively) those makefiles. Seems to be most popular variant of Makefile-based build systems, although some consider it harmful (http://www.pcug.org.au/~millerp/rmch/recu-make-cons-harm.html) when compared to a single-file Makefile. -- kjk
