Comment (by steven_watanabe):

 You're not using --clean-all correctly.

 The difference between clean and clean-all is
 that clean only deletes the top level targets
 to be built, while clean-all also cleans dependencies.
 --clean-all does /not/ clean all build variants.
 You need to specify the toolset for it to work.
