This doesn't remove lisp/*.elc either. In fact no Makefile target does.
I think that the justification is that
a) the files are portable
b) change very rarely
c) take a very long time to regenerate
so they might as well be kept around.
I agree that it's surprising behaviour. Should their removal be added to the
'realclean' target?
