rm -f *.obj exits with error on nonexisting file

[Sascha Kolb]

Hi I am wondering,

I have different versions of rm.exe with exits with error  if I use
wildcards with -f parameter and there is no file existing.

RM:= rm -f

We have many clean targets that make

$(RM)  *.obj

on the first rebuild after fetching the source code it is really anoying
that we get so many stderros about this topic.
cannot remove `*.o': Invalid argument

1. Is this desired behaviour, expeciall with -f switch ?
2. Is there any way to disable this behaviour ?
