make mrproper will delete ALL generated stuff (asm -> asm-<arch> symlink, all *.var files, etc). Sometimes make clean is not enough but make mrproper should be ALWAYS enough to clean all possiblem "problematic" files (including .config and such!)... Esecially for SMP<->non SMP configurations where make clean is not enough, but make mrproper is always enough...
