Yes. See automake/tests/instspc.test for what is expected to work and
what fails, and why. distcheck is a developer's tool -- it helps to
check that your packaging works, but it's not a mandatory target in the
sense that it needs to work everywhere. Just distcheck your package in
a build path that does not contain spaces. /tmp comes to mind.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
