The gcc directory has an "extraclean" target, not one of the standard

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.
