Duh... I failed to demonstrate the real problem: kbuild-2.5's mrproper
also erases *non-zero-size* files in the object tree:
$ pwd
/home/kala/build
$ set| grep KBUILD
KBUILD_OBJTREE=/home/kala/build
KBUILD_SRCTREE_000=/usr/src/linux-2.5.13
$ alias M='make -f /usr/src/linux-2.5.13/Makefile-2.5'
$ echo foo >bar
$ ls -l bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 kala users 4 May 4 12:56 bar
$ M mrproper
spec value %p not found
$ ls -la
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 kala users 48 May 4 12:56 ./
drwx--x--x 26 kala users 1664 May 3 19:58 ../
