Hello!
If there is a project some parts of which are compiled only if special
flags to configure are given (e.g. --enable-test-progs), then the
distribution tarball created by "make dist" will not contain dependecy
information for those parts if that flag has not been used (i.e. there
will be no dependency information for test programs if they haven't been
compiled).
I understand that it is almost impossible to correct, but at least
the documentation should say - compile as much as you can before doing
"make dist"
