Actually, extraclean would delete my backup files, so I didn't touch it. Instead, the following recipe works for me: make maintainer-clean rm aclocal.m4 configure . I could make this into a new make target, say timetravel-clean. :-) > Thanks. Incidentally, I spotted a bug in lisp/Makefile, after noticing that one of the *loaddefs.el files wasn't purged. At lisp/Makefile.in, L78, we have: # Elisp files auto-generated.

Should I just correct this in the emacs-26 branch? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
