I can only partially answer your question; some of those are standard
targets that come from autotools:

[sage-support] What do the different `make ****clean` targets do?

2018-02-11 Thread rickhg12hs
I've built from source to get a performance boost (I hope) and I'd like to 
know when I should use the different levels of `make clean`.  In the 
top-level make file I see, "misc-clean, bdist-clean, clean, distclean, 
build-clean, bootstrap-clean, maintainer-clean, sagelib-clean" as either 
targets or dependencies of targets.

For example, on a drive-space challenged system, which `clean` target will 
... 1) delete everything but leave sage fully functionally?  ...or perhaps, 
...  2) delete everything but leave enough for a "fairly quick" re-build if 
desired?

Is there a "make clean guide" for those who don't know the entire sage 
build tree/process/etc.?
