Can you translate the message to English? I'm guessing that the
directory doesn't exist (since that's pretty much the main reason 'cd'
would complain in a build tree).

'make distcheck' is based on DIST_SUBDIRS since you want to test as

Given my guess, you should ensure that all directories and all
Makefiles are created by the 'configure' scripts, even if the build
will not enter those directories.
