Description MDBürkle 2014-11-17 14:42:53 UTC 
"make distclean" should remove all generated files, but leaves some files in arch/x86/vdso/ behind:

lapmdb-hpl ~ #>> find /usr/src/linux-3.17.3
/usr/src/linux-3.17.3
/usr/src/linux-3.17.3/arch
/usr/src/linux-3.17.3/arch/x86
/usr/src/linux-3.17.3/arch/x86/vdso
/usr/src/linux-3.17.3/arch/x86/vdso/vdso-image-32-syscall.c
/usr/src/linux-3.17.3/arch/x86/vdso/vdso-image-64.c
/usr/src/linux-3.17.3/arch/x86/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
/usr/src/linux-3.17.3/arch/x86/vdso/vdso-image-32-int80.c
/usr/src/linux-3.17.3/arch/x86/vdso/vdso-image-32-sysenter.c
/usr/src/linux-3.17.3/arch/x86/vdso/vdso64.so
lapmdb-hpl ~ #>> 

This is a result of Gentoo GNU/Linux:

# emerge vanilla-sources # (3.17.3)
# make localyesconfig
# make -j 5 bzImage modules
# make distclean
# emerge --unmerge vanilla-sources # (3.17.3)

Please fix the Makefile in arch/x86/vdso/ to somehow include the generated files when cleaning up.
The 3.15.x series did clean that up, IIRC.

Kind regards,
