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 ../
