Try using quotes:
SET_DIRECTORY_PROPERTIES(PROPERTIES
ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES "${extra_libopts_clean_files}" )

In such a case, you could use the APPEND functionality in set_property:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/ctest2.6docs.html#command:set_property
SET_PROPERTY(
DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIRECTORY}"
APPEND
ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES "./libopts/.libs/libopts.la"
)
But beware of this issue when using ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES

-- if there is no *target* present in the CMakeLists.txt, then the
directory does not count as a "directory" in the cmake sense, so the
directory property will be ignored.

I agree. This issue is apparently known though, so be patient, see
