Thanks.  I think a trailing space after a backslash was the culprit,
because with this patch (which also fixes another typo), `make dist'
succeeds for me:

The package still won't work with a VPATH build then, so distcheck will
also fail.  I'm actually suspecting an Autoconf bug with AC_CONFIG_LINKS
in the VPATH case ... more on that later.
