I saw this, and was about to submit a fault... 
depcomp and compile - and only depcomp and compile weren't getting into
DIST_COMMON, with or without a cfg_aux dir (and configure.in setting). 

I found that after removing all the autotool stuff in my build dir, it
came good?!?

I suspect that config.cache or config.status had something in it that
affected this.
