Not just a one line patch, a one character patch.
Use ?= instead of = in distdir assignment, so it can be overridden on
the command line when building dist tarballs with patches.
Yes, you can just modify GNUMakefile.in, but that's extra noise in a
diff, adds merge conflicts, etc.
Please apply. Surely this is harmless?
