The distclean-generic target is removing the following files: stamp-h stamp-h[0-9]* The listing of 'stamp-h[0-9]*' causes 'stamp-h[0-9].in' files to be removed incorrectly. And incidentally, it would be unecessary to list stamp-h if you applied the stamp-h fix I sent to the list sometime in the last week or so (stamp-h will then never be created - the bug was that it was often created but not used).
