this is a bit dangerous, since this directory may be shared among multiple
architectures. If one runs tests *after* installing gcc, as I do, it
may get random errors for Solaris2.5 and Linux (the fastest ones)
because the SunOS4.1.3 host decided to clean up include/g++
What if the clean-include step were not mandatory, or if it just
cleaned up files older than one day, for instance?
