Update: I managed to solve that problem by rerunning automake on the .am
files in the autoconf CVS repository. But now I have different problems
when running make dist with builddir!=srcdir:
- it doesn't find AMTAR. So I added
AC_PATH_PROGS(AMTAR, gtar tar, /usr/bin/tar)
- it autobuild INSTALL.txt in $builddir, but looks for it in $srcdir
- ditto for tests/macros.m4
