No. CVS does not touch any files that it does not control. You have to
remove these files yourself. Your build script should have something
along the lines of "make clean" which will remove any intermediate files.

You can also add the files to .cvsignore, so that CVS ignores them and
will not report on their state. For more details, see the manual (at
ximbiot.com).
