Of course I can use it. But before seeing the error with "make clean",
I didn't know this could be a problem. And such problems could also
happen in the future since in most cases, using "-o ..." is useless
with "-c". Files starting with "-" are allowed by most tools (one
sometimes needs to take care of that, e.g. by using "./" or "--",
depending on the context, but anyway, this is a good habit to take
at least for security reasons).
