To me this appears to be the result of skipping an important step in 
what should be the process.  It seems that there should be a 
requirement that 'make distcheck' succeed prior to a commit.  Then 
this issue would not have happened.

Of course make distcheck' takes a long time, and it is possible that 
for Automake results depend partially on what has already been 
committed and not just what is in the current source tree.
