Does it? Since Automake cannot find
path/${WORKDIR}/Makefile.am, it shouldn't attempt to create
path/${WORKDIR}/Makefile.in, it should simply ignore the file.
What you could do is this:
* first run "automake" to create Makefile.in's in all static directories
for which AC_CONFIG_FILES lists a Makefile (this will ignore
entries such as path/${WORKDIR}/Makefile)
* then explicitly run "automake path/${WORKDIR}/Makefile" to create
the missing Makefile.in
At least you shouldn't have to play a symlink game this way.
