ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS problems

[Ruben Henner Zilibowitz]

I have run into a problem where the following line:
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4
in the top level Makefile.am causes "make dist" to fail. Eg:

Ruben-Henner-Zilibowitzs-iMac:hello rhz$ make dist
{ test ! -d hello-0.1 || { find hello-0.1 -type d ! -perm -200 -exec  
chmod u+w {} ';' && rm -fr hello-0.1; }; }
test -d hello-0.1 || mkdir hello-0.1
/bin/sh: hello-0.1/Bunga: No such file or directory
cp: hello-0.1/m4/am_prog_mkdir_p.m4: No such file or directory
make: *** [distdir] Error 1

Removing "ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4" solves the problem, but I have  
another project which needs this for autoconf to work correctly, so I  
can't remove it, so "make dist" always fails there. If anyone can help  
explain what might be going wrong exactly here, I'd really appreciate  
it.

Maybe this should be posted to the autoconf mailing list, if there is  
one. I'm not sure about that.
