 9.1 Arguments to Specify the Makefile
 =====================================
 
 The way to specify the name of the makefile is with the `-f' or
 `--file' option (`--makefile' also works).  For example, `-f altmake'
 says to use the file `altmake' as the makefile.
 
    If you use the `-f' flag several times and follow each `-f' with an
 argument, all the specified files are used jointly as makefiles.
 
    If you do not use the `-f' or `--file' flag, the default is to try
 `GNUmakefile', `makefile', and `Makefile', in that order, and use the
 first of these three which exists or can be made ( Writing
 Makefiles Makefiles.).
