That sounds like it would break uploading new releases of GCC 4.3 and 4.4
(using automake 1.9.6, and major upgrades are *certainly* inappropriate
for release branches). GCC does not use "make dist". If you try "make
dist" at toplevel in either GCC or src it will tell you so.
Checking for world-writable distributed directories might make sense (that
would also require the GCC release branches to be changed, but that would
be a safe change); it makes rather more sense than checking for what a
user might hypothetically do themselves with "make dist".
