I recall why this happens now. From Mbootstrap:
# patch aclocal.m4 to "de-force" Uninx V7 tar format with `make dist`,
# since we do have filenames/-paths longer than 99 characters.
perl -i -p -e 's| chof | chf |g' aclocal.m4
IOW the problem was never solved, but hacked around. Since I don't use
Mbootstrap (I rely on default aclocal, autoheader, autoconf, etc.
behaviour), I don't get this "fix". Problem solved.
