I've seen Makefiles where 'make clean' does a 'find . -name "*.o" | xargs rm'.
But if somebody is doing that often enough against cache-cold directory trees
to matter, they have bigger problems (like learning how to properly develop
code using 'make'). So unless performance is *so* bad it triggers the lockup
detector, it's probably OK....
