That's what we (mistakenly) call "bootstrap". If it doesn't clean well enough, its clean stage should be improved.

You mean, make bootstrap-clean identical to extraclean, except perhaps that it wouldn't remove config.cache?

If extraclean does a good job, yes.  (I think someone said it didn't?)


It depends how you define "good". What it does is, in a repository that was not modified otherwise, equivalent to "git clean -fdx". Unlike "git clean -fdx" however, it does not remove files that were created by the user (e.g. .patch or .bak files).
