The GNU Coding Standards requires 'make' before 'make dist', so it is
not technically a bug. However, since 'make dist' is such a handy
shortcut compared to 'make && make dist', many packages go out of their
way to provide this additional guarantee above and beyond GCS.

Is your SUBDIRS list of subdirectories in Makefile.am in dependency
order? For example, be sure that you list lib prior to src, if src
depends on lib being built. You can also add an explicit '.' if that helps.
