"make distclean". It's not clear whether it's an Automake bug or
whether what I did simply is not supported (I've got pending mail into
Ralf W. asking about it). The short version is that during "make
distclean", ompi/mpi/f77/Makefile would rm -rf ompi/mpi/f77/.deps.
But ompi/Makefile still include's some .Plo files from that directory,
so Bad Things happened when "make distclean" unrolled from the
ompi/mpi/f77 dir back up to the ompi/ dir.
So I went with George's original suggestion and moved the f77 "base"
files in question into a new directory: ompi/mpi/f77/base and put a
Makefile.include in there. That way, this directory is not traversed
twice by distclean, and .deps is only removed when it is supposed to
be. Maybe we'll be able to do it a little better someday, but that's
the way it is now.
I'll check this with a fresh checkout once this is committed to SVN as
well; some of these kinds of problems don't show up until you do a
build from a completely fresh SVN checkout.
