How to repeat:
make dist
[23 Jan 2006 9:31] Kristian Nielsen 
The 'make dist' is working for me. Here is what I did:

    bk clone -l -r1.2058 mysql-5.1-new mysql-5.1-bug16671
    cd mysql-5.1-bug16671/
    BUILD/compile-dist
    make dist

This produced mysql-5.1.6-alpha.tar.gz for me without any errors.

If this still fails for you, please provide information about the OS and make command used, and also check that BUILD/compile-dist does not fail (or provide the error message from it if it does).
