Would AC_SUBST_FILE be more appropriate? Do you have any @...@
substitutions in $GUTS that can't be done otherwise.

Well, the AC_CONFIG_FILES are the set of files that automake
automatically generates config.status rules for. If you can stand
writing Makefile.am rules instead, you can remove the $GUTS config
file from AC_CONFIG_FILES and use:
EXTRA_DIST += foo-top.in foo-bot.in
foo: $(srcdir)/foo-top.in $(GUTS) $(srcdir)/foo-bot.in config.status
CONFIG_HEADERS= CONFIG_FILES=foo:foo-top.in:$(GUTS):foo-bot.in \
$SHELL ./config.status
or a more readable command with a beta autoconf (2.49a):
$SHELL ./config.status --file=foo:foo-top.in:$(GUTS):foo-bot.in
