I was writing a set of makefiles to build some of my projects and I see
me copying/pasting some rules that are exactly the same, only changing
the directory where they are executed and the variables contents.
Is there a way to write this kind of rules once and let it been
inherited from a make directory level to another...
I think on something like this,
Top Makefile
--
generic-rule:
...
--
subdir/Makefile
--
inherit generic-rule
--
I think about writing this rules on a Common.mk makefile and -include
this file. Does anyone tried someting like that before?

Yes, I have this working. I have a top level makefile that calls
make on each subproject, and in each subproject makefile, first I
define the variables specific to the project and then I include a
common.mk. It took me some time to have it working to my taste, you
will probably have to read the make manual thoroughly as I did.
There is another option, which I never investigated, there are many
other options for project compilation, like cmake or bjam.
