automake: "make dist" is creating weird dependencies

Hi,

I have my source and build dirs separate:

source:         /home/parted/common/parted-dev   (remote NFS)
build:          /home/parted/x86/parted-dev      (local)

I'm using xntpd, so clock sync issues during make should be minimal.


Anyway, when I did "make dist" (from /home/parted/x86/parted-dev), the
generated tarball breaks:

        $ tar zxf parted-X.Y.Z.tar.gz && cd parted-X.Y.Z
        $ ./configure && make
        [snip]
        make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../../../common/parted-dev/
        libparted/constraint.c', needed by `constraint.lo'.  Stop.

This fixes the problem:

        $ automake && ./configure && make

This is quite strange, since "make distdir" runs automake on the new
tree.

Is this likely to be some funky automake bug, or a make / time sync
problem?

Thanks,
Andrew
