Good catch, thanks Lianbo.

FYI, note that the README data is also in help.c and needs to be updated.

As written in the README, these targets are sticky, so it's expected:

  All of the alternate build commands above are "sticky" in that the
  special "make" targets only have to be entered one time; all subsequent
  builds will follow suit.

AFAIK, the only command that can drop a target is "make nowarn", otherwise
we can drop "lzo" and so on by removing CFLAGS.extra and LDFLAGS.extra for
the present.

Thanks,
Kazu
