IIRC, some of the more common targets are described in one of the make.info files. "cleandir" might mean the same as "clobber".

Not sure what you mean by "standard"; there are no predefined targets
that come with GNU make.

There are some conventions, and a very common one is that "clean" will
clean up any derived objects created by an invocation of "make".

There's no common target "cleandir" that I'm aware of, so we can't
suggest exactly what it might mean.


Why don't you just look at the makefile and see?
