Another fix for !1452

Description

• Missing serial number bump
• $(top_srcdir) is Makefile, not shell, syntax
• top_srcdir not defined in configure.ac; srcdir is sufficient
• gnuscripts/reproducible-date was not included in distribution
• Check that configure_date is non-zero, raise error otherwise

Closes #389 (closed)

Thanks! I've had this on the back burner for a while, never found the time to investigate.

Whilst this makes things better, it seems that it isn't a complete fix. During configure the following is displayed:

./configure: line 6767: ./gnuscripts/reproducible-date: No such file or directory

This is a clear improvement as before this change it was (#389 (closed)):

./configure: line 6742: top_srcdir: command not found
./configure: line 6742: /gnuscripts/reproducible-date: No such file or directory

I'll try and find time to have a dig around tomorrow.

Compare with previous version

added infra_general + 1 deleted label

Added a line checking that configure_date is non-zero, and raise a proper Autoconf error otherwise, rather than silently failing. Should help with debugging at least.

gnuscripts/reproducible-date was not included in the distribution; fixing that looks to have done the trick

Of course! Thanks a lot!
