I'll bet that happens only when you do non-srcdir builds.
That's because the testing code mistakenly expects to find those
maintainer-generated (and distributed in tarball) files in $srcdir.
For now, you can work around it by creating them where they're expected
to be: run `./configure && make distclean' in the source directory.
Then a non-srcdir build/test should work.
