distcheck fails with distcheck-hook in automake-1.4-p1

Here's another bug which appears in 1.4-p1 as distributed by Debian.
The latest CVS release handles this problem differently.  I believe
that the problem is fixed in the CVS release, but I'm not absolutely
positive.

It would be nice to get a fix in automake-1.4-p2.

Hi,

I tried the new automake 1.4-p1 and discovered a bug.  If a distcheck-hook
is defined, part of the distcheck rule looks like

        ...
        mkdir $(distdir)/=build
        mkdir $(distdir)/=inst
        dc_install_base=`cd $(distdir)/=inst && pwd`; \ $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) 
distcheck-hook
        ...

And make balks at this line.  The fix (below) is to put the "$(MAKE)
... distcheck-hook" on a separate line.  And put a semicolon after it!

-Steve
