And here's one more, so I don't forget:

  rm -rf src/.deps
  rm -f Makefile
  ERROR: files left in build directory after distclean:
  ./man/arch.1
  ./man/hostname.1
  make[1]: *** [distcleancheck] Error 1
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/h/j/w/co/cu/coreutils-8.19.68-ea804-dirty/_build'
  make: *** [distcheck] Error 1
