well, I created configure.ac and Makefile.am:
$ cat configure.ac
AC_INIT([this], [1.0], address@hidden)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
$ cat Makefile.am
sysconf_DATA = $(top_srcdir)/test.txt
$

Then I run:

autoreconf -i
./configure
make distcheck

and the distcheck failed with the expected message:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../test.txt', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.

I used recent CVS build of Autoconf, and a CVS version of Automake
which is slightly older than 1.10.
