I have a problem trying to conditional include a subdir into a build

I have tried two things.
1)
-------------------------------------------------
SUBDIRS = pkgA pkgB

if BUILD_pkgC
  SUBDIRS += pkgC
endif
-------------------------------------------------


2)
-------------------------------------------------
SUBDIRS = pkgA pkgB $(extra_pkgs)

extra_pkgs =
if BUILD_pkgC
  extra_pkgs += pkgC
endif
-------------------------------------------------


Both of which work, for make; make install; make clean; but when i try
to make dist or make distclean, they fail. I do a test in configure.ac
to conditional set AC_CONFIG_FILES([pkgc/Makefile])

How do I do this properly?

You need to add the dir into DIST_SUBDIRS variable
Tried that, does the same thing. Since my extra pkg doesnt get included as a AC_CONFIG_FILES there is no makefile in there. And thats why make dist* doesnt work.
