So far this works for me:
In automake-1.9/am/distdir.am:
------->8 patch snip 8<---------
am__remove_distdir = \
{ test ! -d $(distdir) \
|| { find $(distdir) -type d ! -perm -200 -exec chmod u+w {} ';' \
- && rm -fr $(distdir); }; }
+ && { until rm -fr $(distdir); do :; done; }; }; }
endif %?TOPDIR_P%
.PHONY: distdir
------->8 patch snip 8<---------
