Comment (by guest):

 This happens because sdist uses flattenPackageDescription which doesn't
 properly handle conditionals like configure would do, and instead just
 joins the listed values for each field descriptor.

 However it's not clear why sdist should care if an executable is buildable
 or not, I'd expect the sources to be included anyway, so the executable
 can be built where it's buildable.
