Yes, that is right.  I want to use this Makefile:

include $(RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH)/Makefile.inc
include $(RTEMS_CUSTOM)
include $(PROJECT_ROOT)/make/leaf.cfg

all:
	@echo CPP
	@for i in $(CPP) ; do printf "\t%s\n" "$$i" ; done
	@echo AS
	@for i in $(AS) ; do printf "\t%s\n" "$$i" ; done
	@echo COMPILE.c
	@for i in $(COMPILE.c) ; do printf "\t%s\n" "$$i" ; done
	@echo COMPILE.cc
	@for i in $(COMPILE.cc) ; do printf "\t%s\n" "$$i" ; done
	@echo LINK.c
	@for i in $(LINK.c) ; do printf "\t%s\n" "$$i" ; done
	@echo LINK.cc
	@for i in $(LINK.cc) ; do printf "\t%s\n" "$$i" ; done

The RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH is provided by the plug-in properties.  Every
time the user changes the project properties make will be invoked with
this Makefile.  The output of this process will be parsed and the
obtained options will be propagated to the corresponding tool
configuration as a built-in values.
