our prior recommendation, removed in 4bb8d76177c40c9a0405ca66da9a40dcbded4505, caused issues with makefiles on ubuntu 16.x (xenial), i.e., on our staging server, such that all recipes failed with the error "No such file or directory". do some research on directives, identify the culprit, and add a new, portable set of default directives.

FYI, those directives are from http://clarkgrubb.com/makefile-style-guide#prologue
