"make dist" fails if more than two compression formats are used |

Severity: grave
If I try to run "make dist" from an autoamke master checkout, I see this error:
tardir=automake-1.11a && ${TAR-tar} chof - "$tardir" \
| XZ_OPT=${XZ_OPT--e} xz -c >automake-1.11a.tar.xz
## The distdir gets removed ##
... rm -fr "automake-1.11a" ...
## And then make tries to tar it again ##
tardir=automake-1.11a && ${TAR-tar} chof - "$tardir" \
| GZIP=--best gzip -c >automake-1.11a.tar.gz
## Failure ensues
tar: automake-1.11a: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
This is pretty bad. What is even worse is that the error is very likely to go
unnoticed (it has until now), since, due to implementation reasons, the `tar'
failure isn't reflected in the exit status of "make dist".
I will try to follow-up on this soonish.
Regards,
Stefano
