I think this is the wrong approach. Would it not be better to get rid of the 60 lines of clean/clobber target in the top level Makefile, including it's brute force methods of "find ... | xargs rm -f" and actually remove the files from the Makefiles in the respective directories instead? This would for example allow that a board maintainer can fix the clean / clobber rules for his code without having to edit the top level Makefile.
