The command "make coccicheck C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck" results in the
error:
./scripts/coccicheck: line 65: -1: shift count out of range
This happens because every time the C variable is specified,
the shell arguments need to be "shifted" in order to take only
the last argument, which is the C file to test. These shell arguments
mostly comprise flags that have been set in the Makefile. However,
when coccicheck is specified in the make command as a rule, the
number of shell arguments is zero, thus passing the invalid value -1
to the shift command, resulting in an error.
Modify coccicheck to print correct usage of make coccicheck so as to
avoid the error.

With this, one still gets the error from shift. Could you move the test
so that one only gets the error message?
