Hi Chris, actually that file "dummy.c" never existed on my system at all. Since for whatever reason "make dist" required it, I just created such an empty file (touch dummy.c) and from there on, everything worked.
I'm now testing the tarball here... well, it works and runs "make distcheck". I guess it should work for you as well? Christian Am Sonntag, 16.
