Are you trying to do an out-of-tree build?  If yes, run the distclean
command in the _source tree_ and not in your out-of-tree directory.

If you are not trying to do an out-of-tree build then maybe the
Makefile is buggy here on Mac OS X:
ifneq ($(realpath $(SRC_PATH)),$(realpath .))

Please add $(realpath $(SRC_PATH)) and $(realpath .) to the error
message.  That way you can confirm whether the path matching makes
sense.
