Yes, that's definitely good.

I really dislike the "make clean" rules, mostly because they mean
maintaining a huge number of Makefiles just for this one purpose.

In GDB_PARALLEL mode, "make clean" works by zapping a few
directories... much nicer :-).  On my branch I removed all those
Makefiles too.  I'm curious whether I ought to try to upstream this.
