As Andreas Gruenbacher pointed out, this feature has been implemented 
just about 8 weeks ago. He also gave the following snippet as a backward 
compatible solution:

=== cut ===
echo -e 'foo:\n\t@echo $(KERNELRELEASE)\ninclude Makefile' \
    | make -f-
=== cut ===

This works fine.

Thanks to everyone for your tips and answers.

Bye, Mike
