$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p4

My dist target uses TAR:

dist: distdir
        -chmod -R a+r $(distdir)
        GZIP=$(GZIP_ENV) $(TAR) chozf $(distdir).tar.gz $(distdir)
[...]


which is used in the whole Makefile, unles in
bindist target:

bindist:
[...]
(cd $(bindistdir)$(prefix) ; $(AMTAR) cf - . ) | \
        GZIP=$(GZIP_ENV) gzip > $(bindistfile)
[...]


Thanks,

Joćo Luis.
