Hi Volker, thanks for checking the patch!

You are absolutely right, these cleans are indeed unnecessary. I
originally took Arch build script [1] as an example, but building
without `make clean` works just as fine. Debian [2] is not cleaning
either, so please just remove those two lines from the patch.

FFTW adds prefices to libraries with different precisions, so you will
have libfftw3.a, libfftw3f.a, libfftw3l.a and their *_threads.a
counterparts.
