[bug #58556] Make is confused by a target named ".o" and neither emptying .SUFFIXES nor MAKEFLAGS=r can prevent this

[Jörg Schilling]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #58556 (project make):

printf 'MAKEFLAGS=r \n .SUFFIXES:' | make - .o 

is completely ineffective and

printf 'MAKEFLAGS=r \n .SUFFIXES:' | make -f - .o 

is ineffective because MAKEFLAGS=r is read after the internal makefile was
read.

BTW: it s bad practice to set MAKEFLAGS= as this is an internal variable that
is intended for make to communicate with it's sub-make calls.
