If you make a patch to fix this I'll apply it.

I agree with you in theory. "make distclean" should delete the output of
configure, and delete all the "Makefile" files. But at the moment "make
clean" does not delete libraries so we need to do a "make distclean"
when we really mean "make clean". If you want distclean to really do
a distclean, then you have to fix "make clean" first.
