It's not configure, it's distclean, and there's no way I can fix this

They can have the following effects:
1) if maintainer mode is enabled and you have autoheader, header files
will be gratuitously rebuilt. Shouldn't be a problem, unless you have
an incorrect version of autoheader, in which case you shouldn't enable
maintainer mode
2) if maintainer mode is enabled and you don't have autoheader, the
stamp files will just be touched, as will the header files
3) if maintainer mode is disabled, nothing happens, since nothing
depends on those files in this case
So it's not a problem. But it doesn't disqualify as an automake bug.
Are you going to report it or should I do it?
