The two files $top_srcdir/libltdl/Makefile.in and
$top_builddir/tests/testsuite.dir/077/Makefile.in are exact copies
according to cmp(1). I'm attaching one of them...

touch(1)ing config/mdate-sh reveals that 'make dist' also tries to
rebuild config/texinfo.tex and touch(1)ing that satisfies 'make dist'
on my system.

mdate-sh and texinfo.tex are present in $top_srcdir/libltdl/config

Cheers,
