I know of this issue. I have tried to fix it. I have no clue how to fix it.
If anyone does, please tell me.

Look at this (where --> means "depends on"):

          Makefile-->conf.h<-----.
              \                   \
               `-->matypes.h-->gen_matypes

The fun starts in a distclean because it deletes conf.h pretty early.
Then Makefile gets rebuilt, because that rule is always checked, regardless of
the actual target. Makefile depends on gen_matypes, so that gets rebuilt too.
Unfortunately conf.h is _gone_, so that build fails. Ugh.

No way, that's defying the whole purpose of make. :)
