Description Marcos H. Woehrmann 2009-10-31 19:12:13 UTC
The command "make distclean" does not remove the debugobj, sobin, and soobj
directories (it removes all the files in those directories, this suggests that
leaving the directories is unintended).

commit r11447 adds a few rmdir's to various make *clean targets to try to remove created *obj/*bin directories, after cleaning them out. Tt does not do unsafe recursive delete, nor remove non-empty directories with left-over user files. 

There are some harmless but unsighty "error ignored" messages from trying to remove directories when they don't exist, or haven't been created.
