The first example in the page '9.2 Arguments to Specify the Goals' has a
syntax error: a missing closing paranthesis.

Currently the example is:

sources = foo.c bar.c

ifeq (,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS))
include $(sources:.c=.d)
endif

where the line with *ifeq* is missing a closing paranthesis. The correct code
would be:

sources = foo.c bar.c

ifeq (,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS)))
include $(sources:.c=.d)
endif
