Bug#958110: nickle: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
nickle could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it shipped Makefile.gz files that contained the
absolute build path. As these files are generated and the paths will
not work on end-user machines anyway, a patch is attached that skips
them. I also skipped Makefile.in too because they are generated too.
