Ok I think I found the issue:

config-arm-common.mak:
>arm_clean: libfdt_clean asm_offsets_clean
>    $(RM) $(TEST_DIR)/*.{o,flat,elf} $(libeabi) $(eabiobjs) \
>          $(TEST_DIR)/.*.d lib/arm/.*.d

config-x86-common.mak:
>arch_clean:
>    $(RM) $(TEST_DIR)/*.o $(TEST_DIR)/*.flat $(TEST_DIR)/*.elf \
>    $(TEST_DIR)/.*.d lib/x86/.*.d

I think the arm case tries to be too clever and on many systems it
fails (tested on debian:jessie,sid and ubuntu:14.04,15.04). Basically
the expression for the arm case fails to resolve, while using the
simpler x86 way works as expected.

So is the following change acceptable in config-arm-common.mak?

Thanks.
