Avoid accidental wrong builds, due to built-in rules working just a
little bit too well--but not quite as well as required for our situation
here.

In other words, "make userfaultfd" (for example) is supposed to fail to
build at all, because this Makefile only supports either "make" (all),
or "make /full/path". However,  the built-in rules, if not suppressed,
will pick up CFLAGS and the initial LDLIBS (but not the target-specific
LDLIBS, because those are only set for the full path target!). This
causes it to get pretty far into building things despite using incorrect
values such as an *occasionally* incomplete LDLIBS value.
