I think that if the build system created it, a `make clean' or `make
mproper' should rub it out again.  Ideally a `make mrproper' will give
you a tree which is identical to a freshly-untarred kernel.org tarball
(yes?).

Which reminds me of my email which you're still hiding from ;)
Shouldn't a `make mrproper' undo the effects of `make headers_install'
by wiping ./usr/include/?
