Details

The recursive make clean, make distclean and make clobber targets are useless. They should be removed and replaced by mach clobber.

Related is bug 1043265. An equivalent to make distclean is current clobber, and an equivalent to make clean would be a clobber leaving the configure byproducts.

In any case, it means we can remove:
- GARBAGE* variables
- ad-hoc *clean and clobber rules from Makefile.ins
