Hmm. When you do an in-tree build, the distdir copy contains a configured
source tree. When you do an out-of-tree build, the distdir copy only the
bare source tree, because the configure output files are in the build tree,
which is not copied.
Fix option 1 would be to copy the build tree as well, if it is different from
the source tree. Since the build tree contains a bunch of symlinks back to
the source tree, this would probably need some careful file handling to not
overwrite the real files with symlinks or something like that.
Fix option 2 is to rerun configure before make distprep.
