Problem with make distcheck

[Chris Lyttle]

This is the error I was seeing in gentoo too. I seem to remember a while 
ago when we had all the work done to the build process (just before the 
1.8.0 release) a bunch of issues that only showed up in distcheck. They 
were eventually resolved, to bad the guy that did all that work isn't 
currently still about.
