distcheck is provided by automake, not autoconf; perhaps you'll get
better answers from the automake list or from reading the automake manual.

Without seeing your actual Makefile.am, I can only guess that perhaps
you made your EXTRA_DIST conditional? I've been bitten by that in some
of my own projects, where a conditional EXTRA_DIST impacts what goes
into the tarball according to the configure options used, even though
that is generally a bad idea (you want the tarball to be independent of
configure options).
