>Description:

	Suggest adding RM macro ``RM ?= rm -f'' to /usr/share/mk/sys.mk.
	This is for added compatiblity with other makes (aleaviates the need
	for gmake in some cases).  Other make's that have this macro are SunOS,
	Solaris, GNU, Ultrix 4.3,


>How-To-Repeat:

	Makefile
	~~~~~~~~
	clean:
		$(RM) a.out *.o *.bak

>Fix:
