[behdad at home fontconfig-2_4_branch]$ grep pkgcache `find -name Makefile.am`
./fc-cache/Makefile.am:AM_CPPFLAGS = -DPKGCACHEDIR='"${pkgcachedir}"'
./fc-cache/Makefile.am: $(mkinstalldirs) "$(DESTDIR)$(pkgcachedir)"
./fc-cache/Makefile.am: $(RM) -rf "$(DESTDIR)$(pkgcachedir)"
./fc-cat/Makefile.am:AM_CPPFLAGS = -DPKGCACHEDIR='"${pkgcachedir}"'
./src/Makefile.am:AM_CPPFLAGS = -DPKGCACHEDIR='"${pkgcachedir}"'

Seems like all you need is to protect the RM command against
failures.
