Details:

I'm using GNU make 3.81 on Fedora Core 7 Linux.

I put "MAKEFLAGS += -rR" at the top of my makefile and expected this to
disable all default rules and variables.  However, "make -p" shows that the
default suffix rules and variables are still present.

My makefile, "makeflags.mk" is the following:

-----
MAKEFLAGS += -rR

all:
-----

This illustrates that the options in the makefile do not turn off suffix
rules:

$ make -f makeflags.mk -p | grep '^\..*\..*'
.LIBPATTERNS = lib%.so lib%.a
.web.p:
.l.r:
.F.o:
.y.ln:
.def.sym:
.p.o:
.txinfo.dvi:
.l.ln:
.w.c:
.texi.dvi:
.cc.o:
.SUFFIXES: .out .a .ln .o .c .cc .C .cpp .p .f .F .r .y .l .s .S .mod .sym
.def .h .info .dvi .tex .texinfo .texi .txinfo .w .ch .web .sh .elc .el
.c.o:
.r.o:
.l.c:
.r.f:
.texinfo.info:
.w.tex:
.c.ln:
.s.o:
.texinfo.dvi:
.y.c:
.web.tex:
.texi.info:
.tex.dvi:
.cpp.o:
.C.o:
.txinfo.info:
.S.s:
.mod.o:
.F.f:
.S.o:
.f.o:
$ make -f makeflags.mk -p -rR | grep '^\..*\..*'
(No output)

This happens because default suffix rules and variables are loaded too soon
to be governed by the second call to decode_env_switches that picks up the
MAKEFLAGS set by the makefile.
