fmake (older FreeBSD):
     -p      Only print the input graph, not executing any commands.  =

             the builtin rules of make are displayed.

gmake:
       -p, --print-data-base
            Print  the data base (rules and variable values) that =
results from
            reading the makefiles; then execute as usual or as otherwise =

            ified.   This  also prints the version information given by =
the -v
            switch (see below).  To print the  data  base  without  =

            remake any files, use make -p -f/dev/null.

Well, the new make (bmake) supports -d g1 so I guess you can see what =
you want to see using that. It would be really simple to add an option =
that makes -p work again, but I guess nobody else noticed its absence.
