If make is called with five or more arguments, it dumps core.  Switches
don't count towards the total of five.  The following is in a directory
that doesn't have a makefile or any named file.

/tmp> make abc def ghi jkl
make: *** No way to make file `abc'.  Stop.
/tmp> make abc def ghi jkl mno
Memory fault - core dumped
/tmp> make -n abc def ghi jkl
make: *** No way to make file `abc'.  Stop.
/tmp> make -n abc def ghi jkl mno
Memory fault - core dumped
/tmp> make CC=gcc abc def ghi
make: *** No way to make file `abc'.  Stop.
/tmp> make CC=gcc abc def ghi jkl
Memory fault - core dumped
/tmp>
