What version of automake are you using?  With older versions,
BUILT_SOURCES didn't work very well.  In fact, it failed in the way
you describe: a built source would be rebuilt even when doing `make
clean'.  That's fixed in 1.5 (and 1.6).

If you are using 1.[56] and still have problems, please provide more
details.
