autoreconf failing to add depcomp and compile to the dist

[Clinton Roy]

Hey all,

calling:

autoreconf -i

does install depcomp and compile, but after:

./configure
make dist

the dist does not contain depcomp or compile, breaking it.

Running autoreconf twice doesn't help (in case it was similar to the
older automake problem)

Going through the:

libtoolize ; aclocal ; autoheader ; automake -a ; autoconf ;
./configure ; make dist

dance produces a dist that does include depcomp and compile.

I'm using autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7.

What can I do to help track down the problem?
