Are you building the release-3-0-x branch, or the default branch?

I've added spkron.m and issuperuser.m to the SOURCES lists in the
appropriate Makefile.in files in the default branch, but I don't see
how that can be the solution if you are building from the hg archive.
It would prevent the files from being placed in a distribution tar
file though...
