You can't do this, the extrainf data *is* important since for tasks
which are machine specific, you must not trample on another machine's
stamp files.

Please use STAMPCLEAN here instead of STAMP, setup an appropriate glob
or two glob expressions based on that, search for it, then iterate the
result and only delete anything that doesn't have sigdata in it.
