That way you could differentiate between the Makefile not existing and
the target not existing.
gmake provided the following error message:
gmake: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
It is perfectly valid to have no makefile yet to run make. Make has a
number of builtin rules. If, for example, you have a file x.c then 'make
x' or 'make x.o' make will cause make to compile x.c even without a
makefile. But if you have no Makefile, you must specify a target.
Otherwise how would make know what to make? So the error message is
quite exact: it is an error to have no makefile AND to specify no target.
