Sounds promising.

Well, that's a bug with maintainer-clean.  The definition of
maintainer-clean in the make documentation says

`maintainer-clean'
     Delete almost everything that can be reconstructed with this
     Makefile.  This typically includes everything deleted by
     `distclean', plus more: C source files produced by Bison, tags
     tables, Info files, and so on.

So if maintainer-clean deletes something that can't be rebuilt with the
current configure settings, it's broken.
