Probably because someone, most likely me, generated with a RedHat
released automake.  Hmm, although I tend to use -p6 these days along
with a local fix that does the following over the base version:

 maintainer-clean-generic:
-       -test -z "arlexldeflexlrclexlarparseharparsecdefparsehdefparsecnlmheaderhnlmheadercrcparsehrcparsec" || rm -f arlexl deflexl rclexl arparseh arparsec defparseh defparsec nlmheaderh nlmheaderc rcparseh rcparsec
+       -test -z "arlex.cdeflex.crclex.carparse.harparse.cdefparse.hdefparse.cnlmheader.hnlmheader.crcparse.hrcparse.c" || rm -f arlex.c deflex.c rclex.c arparse.h arparse.c defparse.h defparse.c nlmheader.h nlmheader.c rcparse.h rcparse.c

We really should be moving to a newer autoconf/automake..
