The upstream version in "git" has

tidy:
        rm -f sys/vesa/alphatbl.c
        find . -name \*.o -print | xargs -r rm -f
        find . -name .\*.d -print | xargs -r rm -f


So it is allready fixed, thanks for reporting anyway.

I have no idea if that breaks things outside OPENSUSE.

( in other words: The proposed fix will build on i586 system,
                  but the question is if the executable will work on
                  non-i586 computers  )
