    Follow-up to #1245.

    This builds on top of #1276. Let's only merge #1276 as a hotfix for the Core build.

    autotools: Rename "pregenerated" clean targets and make them .PHONY

    This follows the automake conventions, see: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Clean.html

    The clean-precomp was .PHONY: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/blob/3bab71cf0534fd5948386de2b6ac31a7044ad76b/Makefile.am#L1

    A comment needs to be updated: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/blob/3bab71cf0534fd5948386de2b6ac31a7044ad76b/Makefile.am#L205

    Why not just MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = $(PRECOMP) $(TESTVECTORS)?

    Why not just MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = $(PRECOMP) $(TESTVECTORS)?

    Yeah, that would work, too. But I think it's nice to have the ability to clean precomp or testvectors separately. I'll address the other comments.

    (Apparently it was a good idea that I opened a separate PR for the first commit.)

    I changed my mind and removed the renaming. It's not clear that a "maintainer"-prefix is better... Sorry for the back and forth.

    Independently, make maintainer-clean in the Cirrus script won't work because that target also removes the Makefile.

    For more robustness, could consider

    	$(MKDIR_P) $(@D)

    with the AC_PROG_MKDIR_P macro in the configure.ac?

    real-or-random commented at 10:37 AM on April 25, 2023:

    As I understand the history of this, the reason why this macro exists is that some implementations of mkdir -p on some old systems are not thread safe. And that's a problem in a parallel make, where multiple make processes try to create the same directory (see https://lists.gnu.org/r/automake/2006-04/msg00084.html).

    I don't see how this could be a problem here, given that there's only a single recipe in the Makefile that creates this directory. That's why I think it's better to stick to mkdir -p here for simplicity.

    To make it work in a VPATH build, the diff required as follows:

    Considering that make maintainer-clean removes Makefile, could this comment be confusing if someone follows it blindly?

    I just removed that part.
