Hmm.  Yes, if you want to retain the flexibility of allowing but not
requiring --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir, which is documented in:

> [1] http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html

then I don't see much choice.  (The additional flexibility allowed by
GCC is reasonable, as it requires GNU make for building, whereas
Automake intends to create makefiles for portable make.)
