If you have a Makefile, then you have implicit rules as well as explicit
ones.  That is how the file gets created.

Now modify the rules and insert another layer which will do the filtering. As
the saying goes:  "there is no problem that cannot be solved by adding
another layer of indirection".  Instead of requiring the generated file,
require the generated and filtered file.

I fear that the clean step runs too late.  You want the file filtered at the
compile stage.
