This is not a good change. Suppose a user does in the same directory
- first, a "./configure; make" for a deficient platform,
- then, a "./configure" for a glibc platform
- then he notices that he forgot to "make distclean" first, so he does
"make distclean",
- then, again, "./configure; make" for the glibc platform.
The generated .h file from the first build will stick around and cause
continuous trouble.
That's the reason why
alloca-opt
argz
...
wchar
wctype
all have the .h file _unconditionally_ in the MOSTLYCLEANFILES.
