The cmd-check for KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1 may not be clear until you see
commit c4d5ee1398 ("kbuild: make KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1 handle empty
built-in.o").
When a phony target (i.e. FORCE) is the only prerequisite, Kbuild
uses a tricky way to detect that the target does not exist.
Add more comments.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
