Yes, be careful with "make distcheck", it does not check for all
problems. Don't forget that "make distcheck" works with
source code from tarball and for example gtk-doc by default add many
generated files to the tarball. The best test is:
git clean -xfd
./autogen.sh
mkdir -p ../build
cd ../build
./configure
make
.. and try "ls -la ../udev/libudev/docs/ | wc -l" before and after the
make command :-)

The number of non-gtk libraries is slowly growing. It would be nice
to found a real solution... fix gtk-doc or found something better
than gtk-doc.
