Right. I meant "make distclean". Amended in the attached.
Yes, it is a regression. Here's what's left after "make distclean"
when bootstrapped with latest automake:
$ find . -name .deps
./lib/.deps
./lib/glthread/.deps
./lib/unistr/.deps
./lib/uniwidth/.deps
./src/.deps
./gnulib-tests/.deps
./gnulib-tests/glthread/.deps
./gnulib-tests/unistr/.deps
./gnulib-tests/uniwidth/.deps
