Have a look at the rules file then. You could run each of the targets
manually until you found which one is responsible. Could be `clean' or
`configure' I guess. Then if you can't guess which line is buggy, run
them one by one... It's not a bug in itself to have your rules file
create useless files as long as your clean target removes them, but
it's not... clean.
