You need to invoke 'make distclean' three times to let it complete its work.

The first time it aborts in the $(TARGET_SUBDIR)/zlib directory because it finds
no rule for 'multi-clean'. The second time it aborts in
$(TARGET_SUBDIR)/boehm-gc directory for the very same reason. The third time it
eventually reaches the final stage, which is to delete empty directories.

Note that it doesn't delete a few generated files in gcc/f and gcc/java either,
as well as various files in gcc/testsuite.
