Re: distclean vs. clean order dependency

Hi Eric,

let me address the easier part first:

You could just punt and put
  AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Wno-override ...

in tests/Makefile.am, or you could fix the issue for GNU make-only by
adding
  .NOTPARALLEL:

to tests/Makefile.am, or by putting
  distclean-generic: | clean-local

in tests/GNUmakefile.  This would require make 3.80 or newer, though.
All untested.

Cheers,
Ralf
