[bug #56420] Unclear wording or missing word

[Martin Dorey]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #56420 (project make):

The context, specifically the start of the previous paragraph:

> If there are C compiler options that _must_ be used for proper compilation
of certain files, do not include them in CFLAGS.
...
> Do include the ‘-g’ option in CFLAGS, because that is not _required_ for
proper compilation.

... tells us that the OP is wrong to think, if they do, that "Don't" was
intended.  Perhaps this would make the contrast clearer:
