error: Unable to clean shellphish-qemu-cgc-tracer

There is a "clean" target in shellphish-qemu-cgc-base/Makefile, so I'm not sure why it's throwing this error. Suggestions on how to troubleshoot further?

The rebuild script is only really meant to be useful during development and packaging. For you, just using the standard setup.py script should be fine - just python setup.py install will build and install.

I'm guessing you've already tried this though. What operating system/distro/architecture are you running on?

Chalk this one up to user error (sort of). The issue was that the filesystem I was using didn't support symlinks (Virtualbox shared folder), and something was trying to make a symlink to shellphish-qemu-cgc-base/Makefile.target in shellphish-qemu-cgc-base/i386-linux-user. Unfortunately whatever did this did not check to see that it succeeded (which, to be fair, it is a pretty odd edge case), which masked the error. I moved it to ~/ and it built just fine. Sorry to bother you. I'm going to go murder some binaries now. Cheers!
