Alway typing "make -r", is probably inconvenient.
A portable way to use some GNU Make syntax is to add a
GNUmakefile near your Makefile{,.in,.am}. This GNUmakefile
would look as follows :
include Makefile
% : RCS/%,v
% : %,v
This way GNU Make will uses these rules in addition to the
ordinary Makefile. But Automake and other Make implementation
never see them.

BTW, escaping # is not portable. Here setting
CO = :
would be safer.
