[cc'ing bug-automake, in case this is a bug.
I was using both automake-1.9b and the latest from cvs. ]
This problem may be due to the convoluted way in which coreutils
bootstraps into a hierarchy under .#bootmp, and then moves the
files into ./lib and ./m4. See below for details.

* jm-macros.m4 (gl_MACROS): Remove use of AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR(lib).
It is no longer needed, and was causing dependencies to appear
in lib/lib/.deps, which provoked a "make distcheck" failure.

As I said, the problem was that config.status created (and populated)
lib/lib/.deps. But it did only what automake told it to do.
automake generated lib/Makefile.in containing these lines. Notice
how everything down to "include .deps/xstrtoumax.Po" looks fine.
But then there's an extra lib/ "include lib/.deps/xstrtoumax.Po"
