I think that if the build system created it, a `make clean' or `make mproper' should rub it out again. Ideally a `make mrproper' will give you a tree which is identical to a freshly-untarred kernel.org tarball (yes?).
Which reminds me of my email which you're still hiding from ;) Shouldn't a `make mrproper' undo the effects of `make headers_install' by wiping ./usr/include/?
