Hi,
I tried the new automake 1.4-p1 and discovered a bug. If a distcheck-hook
is defined, part of the distcheck rule looks like
...
mkdir $(distdir)/=build
mkdir $(distdir)/=inst
dc_install_base=`cd $(distdir)/=inst && pwd`; \ $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS)
distcheck-hook
...
And make balks at this line. The fix (below) is to put the "$(MAKE)
... distcheck-hook" on a separate line. And put a semicolon after it!

P.S. I have no clue if this affects automake CVS. But a 1.4-p2 would
be appreciated!

distcheck-hook is defined.
