make -f x /tmp/file<TAB> won't complete on existing files there

$ make -f /bla/pla/Makefile /tmp/xy<TAB>
won't let me complete on existing files there in /tmp.

We'd really need someone more familiar with the make completion to say for sure, but I have a hunch that the make completion only completes targets from Makefile and this behavior could be on purpose. The M-/ workaround (see first FAQ item) can likely be used to override this.

Well the makefile might have %.html:%.txt etc.

So any existing .html file should expand.
