[Bug other/43620] New: Uploading to gnu.org will fail due to automake security issue

[rwild at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The Automake 'make dist' security issue in 1.11 (fixed in 1.11.1) will likely
prevent uploading to gnu.org, even though GCC does not use the rule.
See here: <http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-03/msg00452.html>.

Using no-dist throughout, or updating to 1.11.1, should be possible, or talking
to the gnu.org admins.  The update to 1.11.1 is really trivial for trunk, but
for older branches, some other strategy would need to be used.

I'm working on a patch.
