This workaround would
  1) require repackaging the tarball (since "make dist" or "make distcheck"
     creates a .tar.{gz,bz2,xz,lz} file, not a .zip file,
  2) not prevent build errors, since the build system requires specific
     ordering of file stamps, e.g. 'configure' must be newer than 'aclocal.m4'
     and *.info must be newer than *.texi.

So, it's not a workaround in fact.
