Make 3.05 does not remove intermediate files, at least not always.
When making foo.o from RCS/foo.c make fails to remove the intermediate
file foo.c, contrary to what the manual states (section 9.4).

I also have an ancient version of GNU Make (version number unkown, but
I think it is from February '88) that does the right thing in this
situation.

Current version seems to be 3.13 or higher, so maybe this has been
fixed already.
