I can confirm this wrong behavior (Linux Redhat EL4).
There must be something not yet perfect in our 'make' setup
there. If we are not in the srcdir, we create a 'non-tarball'
file which I think is wrong; in any case, this is buglet we'll fix.
Thank you, Herve!

that would definitely solve it, since that's what all of R-core
do "all the time".
But the way you did, should also work; that's what the tarballs
are for!

Definitely.
Thank you again, Hervé !
