In the distcheck the builddir is a a child of the source tree, not a
sibling. In particular when I run distcheck I run it from
$HOME/src/gnucash-svn/test/ which is the svn checkout source tree,
$HOME/src/gnucash-svn/test/gnucash-1.9.0 gets created as the
distribution source tree, and then
$HOME/src/gnucash-svn/test/gnucash-1.9.0/_build is the build directory
building off of gnucash-1.9.0 sources. This obviously works fine
because distcheck works.

Hmm... I have no idea why this would work in distcheck either if it
were a "real" issue. I would assume that distcheck would fail to find
this header as well.
You didn't specify which SVN revision you tried. Also, could you try
the 1.9.0 test release?

Thanks. I guess there IS precedent for this elsewhere in the code
already, so... I'll take a look.
