In several makefiles I've seen the prerequisite `FRC' used, as in

>Makefile:	FRC
>	- at if echo "Makefile: $(TARGET) ; @/bin/false" | make -qf - ; \
>	then rm -f $(TARGET) ; fi

I've also seen `FRC' used as the ultimate prerequisite for a group of
dependencies that are .RECURSIVE

but i've not seen any reference to `FRC' in TFM.  any hints as to what
it means and/or does?
