This has been fixed on 2.0.11.

At this time, we don't really have plans to fix the 2.0.10 tarball
retroactively... The 2.0.11 release only includes two small commits on
top of 2.0.10, so I'd recommend going with it directly.

Indeed! This was a big motivation for the switch to automake...

Let us know if 2.0.11 works for you now.

Cheers!
