The -f and -r options are portable.

Not necessarily. I'm not at work. But I think either -f or -r might not be
legal on all Unix's (Tru64 Unix? AIX?).
I used to code on AIX daily, and I am pretty sure that "rm -rf" works on AIX:

I have not worked on Tru64 for many years, but according to the
manpage, -r& -f are supported:

For the first time I tried "make clean" on FreeBSD and found /another/
GNU-vs-Berkeley Make problem.
The problem is use of $(RM) in several Makefile.am's (see below for list).
The onlt non-VT instance (ompi_info/Makefile.am) occurs in openmpi-1.4.5rc1 as
well.
$(RM) is a predefined variable in GNU Make, not provided by Berkeley Make (or
by Automake for that matter).
I am pretty sure a literal "rm -rf" should be fine.
