"make dist" did not depend on $(BUILT_SOURCES)
* lib/am/distdir.am (distdir-am): New intermediate target. Interpose this target between $(distdir) and its dependency on $(DISTFILES), so that we can ensure $(BUILT_SOURCES) are all created before we begin creating $(DISTFILES). * t/dist-vs-built-sources.sh: Test for this. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bugs fixed): Mention it. Assaf Gordon reported that "make dist" (after ./configure from a pristine clone of GNU hello) would fail due to the absence of configmake.h while compiling lib/localcharset.c. https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-hello/2014-03/msg00016.html
