Dear Maintainer,

The problem cannot be solved by importing a more recent version of the 
Linux kernel: the problem comes from a specific Makefile, which is only 
present in Debian

For example, the linux-headers-4.6.0-rc3-amd64_4.6~rc3-1~exp1_amd64.deb 
package, which is quite recent contains a Makefile with the same error:

/usr/src/linux-headers-4.6.0-rc3-amd64/Makefile:

----%----
  1	VERSION = 2
  2	PATCHLEVEL = 6
  3	MAKEARGS := -C /usr/src/linux-headers-4.6.0-rc3-common 
O=/usr/src/linux-headers-4.6.0-rc3-amd64
  4	MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory
  5	.PHONY: all $(MAKECMDGOALS)
  6	cmd := $(filter-out all Makefile,$(MAKECMDGOALS))
  7	all:
  8		@$(MAKE) $(MAKEARGS) $(cmd)
  9	Makefile:;
10	$(cmd) %/: all             <=======================
11		@:
----%----

The problem comes from line 10 which contains two types of targets.

Then I do not think the initial problem is solved by switching to a more 
recent version of the kernel (indeed the problem is also present in an 
even more recent of the kernel).

	Best regards

	Thierry
