I see.. well it seems a "feature". GNU make parsing the 'include'
line on line 113. It happens with Makefile.config as well, regenerated
from Makefile.config.in as appropriate (for the sole purpose of
removing it again in a distclean run).

Do you see this as a problem ?

I think the 'distclean' rule should keep the file, anyway, or your
easy life won't be shared with other users ;)
It's the maintainer-clean which should get rid of it (make sure
maintainer-clean from root dir will invoke it in jdbc2).
