The previous code was brittle and missed cases such as the mipn32
variants which for some reason has the 64 bit syscalls. This leads to
a number of binary targets having deps lines like:

  all.clang-sanitizer/mipsn32el-linux-user/linux-user/signal.d
  140:  /home/alex/lsrc/qemu.git/linux-user/mips64/syscall_nr.h \
  455:/home/alex/lsrc/qemu.git/linux-user/mips64/syscall_nr.h:

  all.clang-sanitizer/mipsn32el-linux-user/linux-user/syscall.d
  146:  /home/alex/lsrc/qemu.git/linux-user/mips64/syscall_nr.h \
  485:/home/alex/lsrc/qemu.git/linux-user/mips64/syscall_nr.h:

which in turn would trigger the re-generation of syscall_nr.h in the
source tree (thanks to generic %/syscall_nr.h rules). The previous
code attempts to clean it out but misses edge cases but fails.

After spending a day trying to understand how this was happening I'm
unconvinced that there are not other such breakages possible with this
"caching". As we add more auto-generated code to the build it is likely
to trip up again. Apply a hammer to the problem.

Fixes: 91e5998f18 (which fixes 5f29856b852d and 4d6a835dea47)
