depcomp preventing make distcheck(newbie question?)

[Bill <rivetwa at member dot fsf dot org>]

I'm at my wit's end. I've been banging my head against the wall with 
autotools for several months now, and with each turn I seem to meet trouble.

Please see the attached tar.gz file. It contains my minimal testcase for 
the problem I'm having on my simulavrxx project.

I get the error:
.....
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/home/rivetwa/src/autotools/depcomp/simulavrxx-0.8.004/=build'
Error: files left after distclean
make: *** [distcheck] Error 1

What am I doing wrong? (many things I'm sure)

I believe I've traced this to the depcomp file. I also think it's 
automake related, redirect me if I'm asking the wrong list please.

I am sure I'm just ignorant of something in the build tooling.

This is what I ran to get to the error condition after expanding the files:
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/nowhere
make distcheck

My online searches resulted in confusing results, though  I did find a 
few suggestions on how to cause config/depcomp to be included in the 
tarball generated by "make dist"


Thanks in advance,

Bill
