It seems to me Bernd meant Linux.
Of course you can pass options to 'make' to create all kind of unusual files.
But there is no 'make' command to delete-all-except, so it is impossible to fix
all cases.
We can add *.a to those places where it is missing, but that won't fix Bernd's
issue about ppu files.

They are not created/updated by make.
