That's probably a result of Brad Hards' change to explicitly *not*
delete it, as it's part of the tarball; he changed the top-level
Makefile.am to arrange that stuff that's generated but that's also
shipped with the tarball not be deleted.
If it's not part of the tarball, it's OK for "make distclean" to nuke it
- and "make distclean" should nuke it.
If it *is* part of the tarball, I'm curious why "make distcheck" is
complaining about it still being there after "make distclean":
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_55.html#SEC55
"`distclean'
Delete all files from the current directory that are created by
configuring or building the program. If you have unpacked the
source and built the program without creating any other files,
`make distclean' should leave only the files that were in the
distribution."
Is "ps.c" part of the tarball?
