I'm using make to run a test suite and thus have a bunch of intermediate test executables. Those take up a lot of space when using static linking (there are many ways around this, but I'm trying to integrate with an existing system at this time) and thus blow some users' quotas if they all exist at once. Make will delete them automatically when I mark them .INTERMEDIATE, but it only removes intermediates as the final step, not as soon as the intermediate is no longer needed. Is there a way, short of recursive make, to eagerly delete the intermediates?
Also, when there are many intermediates, the output is very loud. Is there a way to silence it without silencing everything? My experiments with .SILENT have been unsuccessful.
