 I would assume in that case, Kyuafile as well.
 
 In either case, Atffile.tmp and Kyuafile.tmp (if they happen to be
 left around, due to make failing or being interrupted just at the wrong
 time) should certainly be removed by "make clean"
 
 The same is true for the .tmp files that exist briefly when building ATF
 test files for t_*.sh scripts, they ought also be cleaned by "make clean".
 
 I'd assume that no-one has noticed that it takes a "make distclean" (or
 "make cleandir" which is the same thing) to remove all these .tmp files
 as it is very rare for one to be left around by the normal build process
 (I don't think I have ever see it happen.)
 
 The one possibility to also move from "make distclean" to "make clean"
 are info files - the 'remove what "make" makes' philosophy would suggest
 they should be cleaned by "make clean" as well.
