Good point; I've replaced that sentence with:

Some versions of Automake may require that additional tools be present
on the developer's machine; e.g. @code{gcc} to generate automatic
dependency information.  Running @code{make dist}, however, will produce
a @file{hello-1.0.tar.gz} package (or whatever the program/version is)
that works on any system.
