Running make like this fails for me:

  make -s -C ./ CHK_SOURCES=helloworld_flymake.c SYNTAX_CHECK_MODE=1 
check-syntax

You need to expand your makefile to have a check-syntax target, which
should take the name of the file you're editing in CHK_SOURCES. 

Set this if you want to get some logging from flymake in your
*Messages* buffer:
  
  (setq flymake-log-level 3)

HTH,
