Can you show such a tarball? In coreutils-8.12.tar.gz, build-aux/git-version-gen is distributed. > > +You must add EXTRA_DIST += build-aux/git-version-gen to Makefile.am. > > Even better would be to put the EXTRA_DIST line under the configure.ac > portion of the module file. This EXTRA_DIST augmentation is synthesized automatically by gnulib-tool. Every file listed in the 'Files:' section of the module description is distributed. Automatically.
