It turns out that the recursive 'make clean' cannot recover from
certain badly formed partial builds. The actual clean stanza that
is now executed is in the top level Makefile and reads:

        @ echo 7 making a ${SYS} system, PART=${PART} SUBPART=${SUBPART}
        @ echo 8 Environment ${ENV}
        @ rm -f lsp/Makefile.dvi
        @ rm -f lsp/Makefile
        @ rm -rf lsp/gcl*
        @ rm -f noweb 
        @ rm -f trace
        @ rm -f Makefile.${SYS}
        @ rm -f Makefile.dvi
        @ rm -rf int
        @ rm -rf obj
        @ rm -rf mnt
        @ for i in `find . -name "*~"` ; do rm -f $$i ; done
        @ for i in `find src -name "Makefile"` ; do rm -f $$i ; done
        @ for i in `find src -name "Makefile.dvi"` ; do rm -f $$i ; done

This should reset the system back to its initial state.

I'll clean up the Makefile.pamphlets to reflect this.
