            Bug ID: 20100
           Summary: make distclean should not try to remove
                    libiberty/testsuite dir
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.27 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: sourceforge.brock at dse dot nl
  Target Milestone: ---

When doing make distclean the Makefile tries to rmdir libiberty/testsuite.
However this directory and its contents are under source control. Someone tried
to suppress the error that this dir cannot be removed by redirecting stderr to
/dev/null and by prepending the rmdir command with a dash (-rmdir). But why so
difficult? And it still generates:

rmdir testsuite 2>/dev/null
Makefile:458: recipe for target 'distclean' failed
make[3]: [distclean] Error 1 (ignored)

Would it not be better to just remove the rmdir line from the Makefile? Putting
its contents under source control seems to indicate you wish to keep it.

Kind regards,
