Public bug reported: Older versions of automake before version 1.16.1 can't handle $(srcdir) or $(top_srcdir) in the *_SOURCES symbols.
Turns out that using $(srcdir) or $(top_srcdir) in pre 1.16.1 automake is a bad idea for *_SOURCES as these can't be expanded and one ends up with directories being created with the unexanded names $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) being created. A fix is to just hard-code relative paths instead for the *_SOURCES and use $(top_srcdir) for include paths and paths not used in *_SOURCES.
