gmake does show the nesting level in its output and indeed it's a
valuable information if setproctitle is to be used...

gmake appears to use a MAKELEVEL environment variable to keep track in
between parent/child runs. I see a similar mechanism in our make
(using the __MKLVL__ environment variable) but it's restricted only to
the check_make_level() function that is checking the nesting level,
thus no global variable is available to use.
