'make clean' does not make clean enough

[gwillen]

If I check out the repo, ./configure, and build rustc; then move the repo to a different directory, make clean, ./configure, and build rustc again, it should work. It doesn't.

Workaround: instead of doing 'make clean', rm .gitignore, then git clean -df (removing everything that's not part of the repo), then git checkout .gitignore.

Not 0.6, regrettably.

just a bug, removing milestone/nomination.

Still relevant. Fix is probably to use relative paths?

I just ran this today, and everything appeared to work just fine for me. @gwillen, do you remember what the problem it was that you were seeing? Otherwise I'm tempted to close this because I think that @pnkfelix's recent improvements to the Makefiles might have fixed this (or possibly just reorganization at some point during the last year)

[gwillen]

If you tell me this is likely fixed, I'll believe you. I haven't tried it in ages. Thanks for looking into it.

Cool, closing this for now on the grounds that I couldn't reproduce this. Certainly feel free to reopen if the issue crops up again!
