Clean build fails with make

[Simon Peyton Jones]

|  Anyways the workaround, other than a big `git clean -fdx`, is a removing
|  these three files
|  
|   * includes/dist/build/settings,
|   * lib/settings,
|   * settings
|  
|  Then make will regenerate them.

Excellent, that works.

It may not matter.  We don't want to spend lots of time on the old build system.  Is this a once-only thing? I.e. once done will never happen again?  Or might it happen repeatedly?

|  This is the same issue as before; and I don't know how the cleaning works.
|  The good thing is that I think I am done adding things to that. (Perhaps
|  some should be removed, but that won't cause these issues.)
