Summary: SCCS vs. RCS

Uh ?  You don't need it.  Most of what you need can be done with rules like

.SUFFIXES:	.c,v

.c,v.c:
	$(CO) -q $*.c
.c,v.o:
	$(CO) -q $*.c
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $*.c
	$(RM) -f $*.c

... etc.  Note that for SCCS it *has* to be built into make, because it uses
prefixes instead of suffixes.
