Comment(by vbraun):
I seriously doubt that anybody uses the "destructive existence test" `$RM
filename || ...` :-)
Automake has an official list of variables that it looks at. Perhaps it is
a bug that `RM` is on the list, but its still our problem and I doubt
upstream will change because some guys from Sage have a variable name
collision. See also http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/make
/Implicit-Variables.html
