Re: Patch to remove extraclean targets

Checking old gcc versions, I see that this was used by the Makefile rules for building a release, but those Makefile rules have long since disappeared. As you mention, the new release scripts don't need this.


(libobjc/makefile.dos also has an extraclean target.  That file hasn't
had any substantive changes for a long time and may well no longer be
of any use.)

We may as well fix it.


Boostrapped with no regressions on i686-pc-linux-gnu. OK to commit?

OK. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
