  • Remove a couple duplicate patterns in rm rules.
  • Remove the absolute path on some /bin/rm and /bin/cp commands.
  • Always use rm -f instead of rm || true or -rm (where the leading dash is Make syntax to ignore errors).
  • rmdir commands were using two error suppression methods (-rmdir || true), prefer rmdir || true since it is less noisy than -rmdir.
  • mkdir -p commands do not need parent directories supplied as arguments; add the -p flag if missing.

Remove absolute paths (/bin/rm, /bin/cp).
Use rm -f instead of ignoring errors (-rm, rm || true).

mkdir -p $(MAN) $(MANDIR) $(MAN7DIR)

Why remove $(MAN) here?

It's defined as the parent directory of $(MANDIR) and $(MAN7DIR), and the -p flag will automatically create parent directories if necessary.
