It's best to treat it the same way you treat assembler when compiling a C++ program. Normally, you wouldn't inspect the generated assembler. If you do, you will find it very hard to follow, but that's the disadvantage that comes with the benefit that you don't have to write it all by hand. I consider generated makefiles the same. I don't commit them to my repository, most of the times I don't look inside them, it's just an intermediate product of my build system.
