#4320: GHC Build System: make clean on windows requires ./configure to be rerun

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
On windows, with the ghc build system, if 'make clean' is run in the top
level then the user can't simply run 'make' to build ghc after. The user
must run './configure' again before 'make' can be run. The reason for this
is 'make clean' removes the inplace mingw gcc binaries and they are
installed into the inplace tree by './configure'.
This seems a bug to me. I expect to be able to run 'make' after running
'make clean'. I only expect to have to run './configure' again if I run
'make distclean' or 'make maintainer-clean'.
I checked the gnu standards then and they match my expectations.
