Makefile.static in EXTRA_DIST vanishes on make distcheck

[Holger Hans Peter Freyther]

Hi,

the project I am working on invokes another Makefile (to build a Linux kernel
module), I have placed this Makefile in the EXTRA_DIST but somehow on make
distcheck the Makefile.static is gone and the cleaning fails. I have created a
minimal example and attached it to this email.

Makefile.am:
EXTRA_DIST = Makefile.static

clean-local::
        $(MAKE) -f Makefile.static clean


The complete output:

So somehow the clean fails because the Makefile.static is already gone? how
can I prevent that? Or which rules should I use to clean the tree?
