(split off from #642 because I suspect this change is less controversial)

The `-f` option causes `rm` to silently ignore files that don't exist,
so `rm -rf` will only fail if `rm` has trouble deleting a file that
exists.  We want `make` to fail in that situation.
We want `make` to fail if the directory doesn't exist and can't be
