Sure, but is it necessary to run the find command for removing backup files in make distclean?

When the find command is removed you'd still end up with a tree that's clean enough to perform a build from scratch, although the tree won't be perfectly clean. 

BTW. I usually build in a separate directory, that makes cleaning up even easier :-)
