[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I think it has something to do with Fedora 31 using GNU Make 4.2.1, which uses a
different output format when debugging. Log of failure is attached.

Ah, OK, good enough. I'm closing the bug report then, as it's OK to require the 
latest tools to run 'make dist'.
