Setting QMAKE_DISTCLEAN as you indicated in your initial post does
change the Makefile on my setup. Qt 4.5.3, 64-bit Linux.

QMAKE_DISTCLEAN += /path/to/file # in my .pro file

This results in the following section in my Makefile.

distclean: clean
        -$(DEL_FILE) $(TARGET)
        -$(DEL_FILE) /path/to/file
        -$(DEL_FILE) Makefile

What version of Qt are you using? On what platform? Can you show us
the .pro file and generated Makefile?
