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.
