I got it !

But I still don't understand it.

In my makefile.am file, in the _SOURCES variable, I have the list of
sources files, including headers, like this :

> %D%/messages/GKDBusMessage.cpp \
> %D%/messages/GKDBusMessage.h \
> %D%/messages/GKDBusReply.cpp \
> %D%/messages/GKDBusReply.h \

I seems that the space character at the end of each .h line before
the \ is wrong. If I remove it, and insert a new space, git diff is
showing me :

And make -d distdir is saying me :

That seems to happen with ten headers lines.

What I don't understand is that vim does not show me any difference
between those spaces, and I don't know where they come from.

distcheck is running fine now. Thanks all.
