We have been putting the generated eo files and BUILT_SOURCES into CLEANFILES
several times. So far this have not been a real problem but with the elm merge
and more and more eo files showing up this did explode recently.
During make distcheck a lot of files kept being around and make complained about
them. It took some digging to find the arguments list to long error. If you want
details on this great limitation have a look here:

In our case we have been lucky enough that we just appened many files over and
over again. Not doing that solves the issue for now. My testing showed no
problems but if I missed something let me know.
Fixes T3386
Instead, check if there is a file specified by the argument to elua and
if there is, execute it, otherwise treat it as app name. The reason this
is done is that the colon triggered ugly stuff in certain environments,
such as our MinGW crossbuild Jenkins slave.
@fix
This allows us to get rid of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack and thus make it more
cross-plaform as well as fix some bad behavior (with the hack it still looked
up the systemwide library if present instead of preferring in-tree)
