Well as you say, the problem predates your use of NOCLEAN, so what I'm
warning against is probably not an issue. Just keep in mind that NOCLEAN
implies at least one thing other than "don't worry about what's in my
obj tree".

Basically, either grep the Makefiles for instances of NOCLEAN and figure
out exactly what it does, or don't use it. That's the advice I give
people.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
