make clean doesn't clean everything on OSX

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. make distcheck

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
make distcheck should work.  Instead it fails at the distcleancheck stage
because make clean doesn't remove everything that was created during the
make stage:

distcheck passes on some Linux workstations.  Weird.

I'll confirm but I double checked this and I'm pretty certain that this a bug 
in the
interaction between a specific version of libtool and Automake.  The generated
Makefile doesn't rm the test/.libs directory with certain combination of
libtool/automake versions (e.g. libtool 1.5.22 + automake 1.10).

• Changed state: Invalid

I can confirm that upgrading to automake 1.10.2 and libtool 2.2.6.
