Section 3.8 of the info manual not respected

[Anthony Shipman]

I've tried the example in section 3.8 Overriding Part of Another Makefile.
i.e.


foo: 
        frobnicate > foo 

%: force 
        @$(MAKE) -f Makefile $@ 

force: ; 

The command 'make foo' results in

make[1]: Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'.  Stop.
make: *** [GNUmakefile] Error 2

An implicit rule search is performed for the target GNUmakefile. This is not 
expected.
