Not sure why you think that. distcheck does a build with build tree != source tree. But nothing in Automake prohibits packages from allowing both trees to coincide. > Ah!

Not sure if "srcdir" is a directory name here, but config.h should not be created in the source tree, but in the build tree, to facilitate having several distinct build trees (for several systems, for example).
