-include is not portable. Also, not related to the original topic,
but in general is better to just define OBJ instead of defining SRC,
because you as a object generator are interested in the objects, no
in the sources. It can drive to problems because the standard does not
define how the expansion is done in inference rules and things like:

$(OBJ): xxxx


don't work in nmake if OBJ is a expansion of SRC.
