I see the problem now; it's unclear just from the patch -- you need
to see the rest of the Makefile.am to understand the issue...

The original Makefile has this:
SCMFILES = $(shell find ${top_srcdir}/src -name test -prune -o -name '*.scm'
-print )
# This needs to be generated in srcdir
guile-strings.c: $(SCMFILES)
rm -f guile-strings.c
cd ${srcdir} && rm -f guile-strings.c \
&& ${GUILE} -s ./xgettext.scm $(SCMFILES)
So it builds the list relative to ${builddir} but then USES the list
from $(srcdir). This is why it doesn't work if builddir and srcdir
are in different levels of the hierarchy. It should build the list
from the same directory it's used in.
An alternate approach is:
guile-strings.c: $(SCMFILES)
rm -f guile-strings.c ${srcdir}/guile-strings.c \
&& ${GUILE} -s ${srcdir}/xgettext.scm $(SCMFILES)
I'm not sure which approach is better, honestly.
