I would argue that these aren't output files from some weirdo tool,
but from GCC, at which point you could argue that these files are
not generated with a default ./configure ; make. ;-)

Ugh, in fact that argument is already in your first mail. ;-)  Well,
I figured it's worth a try.  

The GNU Coding Conventions (make distclean is a GNU invention as far
as I know) says the following:

  distclean: Delete all files in the current directory (or created by
  this makefile) that are created by configuring or building the program.
  If you have unpacked the source and built the program without creating
  any other files, `make distclean` should leave only the files that were 
  in the distribution.

Any chance of you reconsidering this?
