Yes, exactly; the commit that adresses this issue is among the four top
commits in dev/jmandereau commit
8a0905f1409f3d01bf902312cb53cb8f1127e760
Make distributed tarball from Git file list

You can also test this commit separately (or together with the parent
commit that changes mass-link.py) with the test procedure I gave in my
earlier message, except that you won't have "make vc-clean" available,
but it can be replaced by
make distclean && rm -f configure aclocal.m4

Basically, that commit changes how dist target finds files to put in the
tarball, and removes all GNUmakefiles that are made unnecesszary by this
change (i.e. GNUmakefiles that were present only for distributing source
files in the tarball).

Best,
John
