Running 'clean' will remove generated object code, but will not
'uninstall' headers or libraries.
You would need to run 'make uninstall' for that purpose.
The order in which 'clean' is placed suggests that it is done prior to
running 'dist' or 'distcheck' to ensure no object code lying around.

The step that is often overlooked before running a build is 'make
uninstall'. It seems simple, but if too many things changed since last
version, this may break or not remove undesired files.
