Why?
`foo.x' is not a direct source of `aaa'. It's a source of a source of `aaa'.
Hence the:

(nodist_)aaa_SOURCES = foo.cc foo.h
BUILT_SOURCES = foo.cc foo.h
<rules to build foo.cc and foo.h from foo.x>
EXTRA_DIST = foo.x

Is there any reason why you would not want to do this?

How is it meant to do this guess?
Simply list in the *_SOURCES the real sources and it will work this way.
