The title really should read "instead of 'rm -f'".

And who defines "RM = rm -f" when nothing is specified on the command line? I'd assume the answer is "GNU make", and it probably is true for all versions we care about, but I would feel better if we have that spelled explicitly as the fallback position, just like we define CC, AR and friends.
