My situation is even worse. My user ID is so large that "make dist" fails for me:
tar: value 3186326 out of uid_t range 0..2097151 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors gtar: value 3186326 out of uid_t range 0..2097151 gtar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors The fix was promised back in year 2008. I hope we'll see it. In the days of cloud computing, large user ID is an everyday reality. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.bugs/4340 -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
