Hi, Chris,

Here's how one of my projects does it:

 ifneq (,$(strip $(filter distclean clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS))))
    toc2.flags.making_clean = 1
else
    toc2.flags.making_clean = 0
endif

and then change the rules for the bins/dlls/etc to act appropriately during
the cleanup:

ifeq (1,$(toc2.flags.making_clean))
$(c-bins.DEPSFILE): ; @true
else
$(c-bins.DEPSFILE): $(toc2.files.makefile) $(c-bins.RULES_GENERATOR)
$(c-bins.makefile)
        @echo "Generating c-bins rules: $(c-bins.list)"; \
        $(call toc2.call.generate-rules,c-bins,$(c-bins.list)) > $@
endif
# REMINDER: we MUST include the file, even if doing clean, so that the
# bins cleanup rules actually get performed.
-include $(c-bins.DEPSFILE)
deps: $(c-bins.DEPSFILE)
bins:

however, note the "REMINDER" comment - in my particular case i have to
-include even during cleanup because my BINS rules are auto-generated and
include the cleanup code for the BINS.

i remember changing the cleanup rules (as opposed to the other rules) to
react to the is-making-clean flag at one point, but i cannot find that
example now (i might have gotten rid of it because of the above-described
auto-generation bit).
