Summary:  "make clean" for documentation undoes results of other make's

Original Submission:  When building gnustep from source, if you do this:

cd gnustep/core/base ; make ; cd Documentation ; make

Everything is fine; then do

make clean ; make

This should just rebuild the docs, but instead you get an error, because 
../Tools/obj (and, for that matter, ../Source/obj) have been deleted, so the 
autogsdoc tool is not found.  The 'obj' files are symlinks to 'shared_obj' put 
there by the regular (base) make, NOT by the documentation make.

What seems to be the problem is the "make clean" rule for "documentation" 
GNUstep targets is removing 'obj' symlinks even though it does not create them.
