This has the same effect as your conditional.  It WILL run the make
distclean and promptly error out as before you patched the makefile,
however it will then ignore the error because you told make to allow
failure of that command.  This is correct behavior in this particular
case, I think.  (I have gotten far too much practice hand-editing patch
files lately..  Thank doogie for DBS.)
