Well, I don't know.

But your output, compared to mine, contains:

$ make dist
cd . && /tmp/automake/aclocal --acdir=m4
cd . && /tmp/automake/automake --amdir=. --gnits Makefile
cd . && /bin/sh /tmp/automake/missing --run autoconf

i.e., your files are not up to date.  Try from a freshly checked out
automake?
