Adding -rR to MAKEFLAGS is important because we do not want to
be bothered by built-in implicit rules or variables.
One problem that used to exist in older GNU Make versions is
MAKEFLAGS += -rR
... does not become effective in the current Makefile. When you are
building with O= option, it becomes effective in the top Makefile
since it recurses via 'sub-make' target. Otherwise, the top Makefile
tries implicit rules. That is why we explicitly add empty rules for
Makefiles, but we often miss to do that.
In fact, adding -d option to older GNU Make versions shows it is
trying a bunch of implicit pattern rules.
Considering target file `scripts/Makefile.kcov'.
Looking for an implicit rule for `scripts/Makefile.kcov'.
Trying pattern rule with stem `Makefile.kcov'.
Trying implicit prerequisite `scripts/Makefile.kcov.o'.
Trying pattern rule with stem `Makefile.kcov'.
Trying implicit prerequisite `scripts/Makefile.kcov.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem `Makefile.kcov'.
Trying implicit prerequisite `scripts/Makefile.kcov.cc'.
Trying pattern rule with stem `Makefile.kcov'.
Trying implicit prerequisite `scripts/Makefile.kcov.C'.
...
This issue was fixed by GNU Make commit 58dae243526b ("[Savannah #20501]
Handle adding -r/-R to MAKEFLAGS in the makefile"). So, it is no longer
a problem if you use GNU Make 4.0 or later. However, older versions are
still widely used.
So, I decided to patch the kernel Makefile to invoke sub-make regardless
of O= option. This will allow further cleanups.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
