This reverts the old commit [1], which seems questionable to me. It claimed 'make distclean' could not remove editor backup files, but I believe KBUILD_OUTPUT or O= was set. When O= is given, Kbuild should always work against $(objtree). If O= is not given, $(objtree) and $(srctree) are the same, therefore $(srctree) is cleaned up.
