building 1.8

[Christian Stimming]

Hi,

this is unfortunate. I haven't seen that weird complaint before, but as 
I said I have been able to run "make distcheck" in the current 
1-8-branch. If you want to, I can upload the tarball to sourceforge 
(although any of you admins there need to upgrade me to "Release 
Technician" before I can access the file release system there.)
