+# In other words, "make userfaultfd" is supposed to fail to build at all,
+# because this Makefile only supports either "make" (all), or "make /full/path".
+# However, the built-in rules, if not suppressed, will pick up CFLAGS and the
+# initial LDLIBS (but not the target-specific LDLIBS, because those are only
+# set for the full path target!). This causes it to get pretty far into building
+# things despite using incorrect values such as an *occasionally* incomplete
+# LDLIBS.
