It indeed sometimes bombs out. If you look deeper, it is fpmake not being
able to delete the units/$fpctarget directory because it is not empty.

So either a file or some lock is there. Trouble is that it is catastrophic
(IOW further cleaning halts).

A workaround  is to kill the fpmake and then run distclean (then it afaik
does by rm -rf)
