 I just noticed that we had broken "make dist" on master, because one of
 the jenkins builders wasn't passing.  I fixed it with 197d1992dba2fe.

 Should our Travis builds be reconfigured to use "make distcheck" instead
 of "make all && make check"?  It takes only a little bit longer, but it
 would help us be sure that we weren't running into any issues like the one
 above, or #25732.

 Instead of passing things to "configure" directly in this case, we would
 need to use the `DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS` flag to set the configuration
 options that distcheck would use.
