First off, which Autoconf and Automake versions do you have installed?

Second, does this patch (already in git master) expose the issue for you
(with "make dist")?
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.bugs/6655/focus=8869>

Third, does this patch (not applied yet) fix the issue for you?
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.bugs/6681>

Thanks,
Ralf
