On Stratus VOS, core files are not called "core"; they are called

Is there something I can do in config.site (or somewhere else) that
will propagate through autoconf to add this to the average
autoconf/automake project's "clean" target - ideally at "configure"
time, not autoconf or automake time? The clean-local target seems to
be for project-specific targets, not platform-specific targets, and
I'm not sure how to affect it from config.site anyway.
`make clean' should not delete such core files, since `make' does not create
them. It is appropriate for `configure' to delete `conftest.kp' that may remain
after a failed test, and it can do this unconditionally.
Yeah, that makes sense. I thought I'd seen other cases where make clean
did an "rm core", but I've mostly been building "metaprojects" like
gnulib and autoconf, where a core might be expected during failed tests.
The usual "rm conftest*" in configure should catch any conftest keep
files too.
There is no general facility designed to augment the clean rule on a platform-
or site-specific basis.
OK, didn't think so - just wanted to check. Thanks.
