I would rather say this means an additional problem in the Makefiles. If a rule requires src/auto/config.h, it should create it (directly or indirectly by dependences) when it does not exist. That's what make is for. If `make distclean' can remove src/auto/config.h and create it empty, why it cannot be created [empty] by the thing that actually needs it? This indeed works strangely; for instance `make -jN' with N > 1 works with freshly unpacked sources, but it breaks completely after `make distclean' -- which one would expect to get the source tree to the same state.
