Is for the same reason the

        rm -f include/asm

in the build process not

        rm -rf include/asm

???

I like to copy kernel-trees around with cp -lr, and normally end up
with a bogus inclue/asm directory, which needs to be rm -rf'ed before
I can properly build a kernel in the new tree...
