This does work, once you manage to get back to a clean state avoiding
the brokenness of the current build system, which is tricky. "make
distclean" is broken as well. I got my test case to work by doing
something like "autoreconf -i", rerunning "configure" and removing the
incorrectly created directories "A/foo" and "A/$(srcdir)"  manually.
