 I think the patch will work if you remove the leading "-" from the rm
 command. This is probably ok anyway, because rm -f will not fail for
 nonexisting files and for other errors (e.g. EPERM) failing seems to be
 the right thing to do.
 
 (As for why make decides to ignore the exit status of all commands for
 the target, I have no clue. I'll ask on tech-userlevel.)
