`make distcheck` passes here with the following, which I've just pushed.

cheers,

commit fd59e4a955970b2a6c2796578f1bc8b57604f731 (HEAD -> master)Author: Pádraig Brady <P <at> draigBrady.com>

    build: avoid make distcheck error

    * src/local.mk: Similarly to commit v8.22-156-g09937e9d0
    track speedlist.h with nodist_src_stty_SOURCES and DISTCLEANFILES
    to ensure the make distcheck manifest comparison passes.
    Addresses https://bug.gnu.org/78960
