"make distcheck" now passes.
I also had to make the following change to avoid this build warn/failure:
CC debug.lo
debug.c: In function 'ped_debug':
debug.c:66:17: error: function might be possible candidate for 'gnu_printf'\
format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]
vsnprintf ( msg_concat, 8192, msg, arg_list );
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
exception.c: In function 'ped_exception_throw':

Subject: [PATCH] maint: avoid new warning/error with gcc-4.8.0 20130105
* configure.ac (WERROR_CFLAGS): Disable -Wsuggest-attribute=format.
It was suggesting to apply the gnu_printf attribute to vsnprintf.
