Thank you for the bug report.  I believe I fixed that with the patches
applied to the branches master and branch-1-10 on 2007-08-16.  So in
1.10.1 that should be fixed:

|     * automake.in (handle_programs): Also clean .libs/_libs
|     directory for _PROGRAMS.
|     * tests/libtoo10.test: New test.
|     * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
|     * THANKS: Update.
|     Report by Guillermo Ontañón.

You can work-around it by something like this in your Makefile.am:

clean-local:
        -rm -rf .libs _libs

Cheers,
Ralf
