Description :
After upgrading from OCaml 3.12 to 4.00, when trying to run "make clean" on the root of the Frama-C source directory, after having already compiled everything using OCaml 3.12, the makefile tries to run a target related to ocamlgraph before cleaning things, but since there are old .cmi files in its directories (which I wanted to be cleaned as well), it tries instead to build things before cleaning them, which gives annoying error messages:
$ make clean

After manually removing such files, I was able to run "make clean". I believe a minor patch should do it, however it's quite tedious to reproduce the bug: it requires configuring an old OCaml, compiling, then configuring a new OCaml before trying "make clean" again.
