"make clean" should not remove stdio-common/stdio_lim.h

Hi,

Building glibc like this:

   .../configure ...
   make
   make clean
   make

gives an error:

make[2]: Entering directory `/packages/glibc-20020408/stdio-common'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `bits/stdio_lim.h', needed by `/usr/include/bits/stdio_lim.h'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/packages/glibc-20020408/stdio-common'

The reason is that "make clean" has removed stdio-common/stdio_lim.h. But
this file is created by "configure", not by "make". Therefore it should be
removed by "make distclean" but not by "make clean".
