Make dist

[John Darrington]

I'm trying to create a binutils tarball.

When I try the conventional "make dist" I get the message:

 Building a full distribution of this tree isn't done
 via 'make dist'.  Check out the etc/ subdirectory

So I look in the etc/ subdirectory but that just contains an (old)
copy of the GNU coding standards, which tells me (amongst other stuff)
that one should indeed use "make dist" to: "Create a distribution tar file for 
this program". ... which is what I already tried ...

So how _do_ I create the tarball?
