[issue9546] buildbot: if a compile error occurs, the "clean" step is skipped

[Florent Xicluna]

New submission from Florent Xicluna <florent.xicluna at gmail.com>:

When the buildbot fails to compile, the "clean" step is not run.
 http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/i386%20Ubuntu%203.x/builds/1838/

This is a problem for issue #9545 where the Modules/Setup.dist cannot be copied to Modules/Setup on next run (file already exist).

Normally, "clean" step takes care  to remove "Modules/Setup":
