Dear Santiago,

it looks like the problem is in the packaging of the source code. There are Makefiles distributed with Alpine in the web/ directory. That is wrong, and it will be fixed. Thank you.

  Is there any reason why the make clean command should remove Makefiles. [?]

There is: make clean is supposed to undo the effect of "./configure; make".
So, if those Makefiles are created when building the program, then they are
expected to be removed by make clean.

To me the easier fix is not to build web alpine, just add
'--without-tcl' as one of the options of the configure script.

That's the problem, we are already passing --without-tcl to the configure 
script.
Looks like make should not recurse into web/src when such option is used.
That way, no Makefiles created, no Makefiles to remove later.

Thanks.
