There are several cleaning targets:
clean
confclean
testclean
distclean
spotless
clean will remove all intermediate files created during compilation
confclean will also remove generated header files like
chicken-config.h chicken-defaults.h
testclean will remove all files generated by a make check in tests/
spotless is confclean and testclean plus removal of the bootstrapping files
distclean is shorthand for clean and confclean
So the dangerous one for usual users is spotless as it removes the
ability to build chicken from scratch without having a previously
built chicken installed.
HTH,
Christian
