[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | make dist fails (#1610)

[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

William Roberts created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1610



Fedora 40
```
git clone --depth 1 --branch 3.8.8 https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls.git
cd gnutls
./bootstrap
./configure --with-included-unistring
make dist-xz
```

Fails with:
```
make ./errcodes
make[4]: Entering directory '/home/bill/tmp/gnutls/doc'
  CC       errcodes.o
  CC       common.o
make[4]: *** No rule to make target '../lib/libgnutls.la', needed by 'errcodes'.  Stop.
make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/bill/tmp/gnutls/doc'
make[3]: *** [Makefile:6239: error_codes.texi] Error 2
```

I would expect it to work or to apprise me of a missing option. If make dist depends on the library isn't their some way to inform them of that dependency in a way that will trigger it to build? This is beyond mu automake knowledge as I thought LDADD would do it.
