NetBSD has in its distribution sets things that look like:
obsolete.mi
obsolete.${ARCH}
and its distribution tools remove the old cruft on installation of the
newer distribution set.
Something like the following would then put things right:
sysclean:
@ head -2 ${SRCDIR}/release/obsolete.mi | xargs rm
@ head -2 ${SRCDIR}/release/obsolete.${MACHINE_ARCH} | xargs rm
would be the FreeBSD way of saying something similar. However, the
obsolete.mi file would get large with time :-)
