tmpname=`mktemp $(distdir)/dist.XX`
I don't think we can safely assume mktemp in automake rules.
tardir=$(distdir) && $(am__tar) > $(distdir)-$RANDOM.tar 2>$(distdir).err
That was my idea ($$ instead of $RANDOM). Certainly simple, but I agree
Nick's idea is cleaner:

Hi Dimitrios, Bogdan - back on this bug from 2015 (sorry):
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=19614
Bogdan sent a patch that splits the tar and compress into separate
invocations. It seems basically good to me, but the dist-formats test
fails because it builds multiple archive
Hello again.
This time a patch that splits 'tar ... | gzip/bzip2/whatever' into 2
commands.
Yes, this introduces a requirement for a "temporary" .tar file (and
i-node allocation, and filesystem free space/performance, and ...),
but gives gains (I hope they're gains):
1) when 'tar' exits
