Err, well, I'd say the default target should be 'all' and not 'clean', so
move that target up so it is the first. Also, 'clean' should not fail if
some files are missing, so prefix every rm call with a '-'.

Other than that, why are you posting to the group devoted only to the C++
compiler of the GCC?
