The most probable cause of this is that you use Make 3.73 compiled with 
DJGPP v2.0.  That port of Make is incompatible with DJGPP 2.01, so 
upgrade.  Only Make 3.75 calls `system' when it sees wildcards, like I 
described.

Your example Makefile works for me with Make 3.75 and rm from fil313b.zip.
