dist: separate auxiliary file instantiation from DIST_COMMON update This change simplifies the automake internals dealing with the checking, copying and distributing of required auxiliary files. With this change, a required auxiliary file is *unconditionally* added to the contents of the DIST_COMMON variable in the generated Makefile.in, before checking whether it exists, or trying to copy it (if `--add-missing' is in use). This shouldn't be a problem, since if the checking or copying of the file fails, automake will bail out, the Makefile.in won't be created, and thus its content will not matter. OK, this is not completely true when threaded automake is in use, but then, such a situation was also possible before this patch, so no regression here, which is enough for us. This change is the first of a series of steps aimed at fixing the regression introduced in threaded automake usage by commit `v1.11-1219-g326ecba'. * automake.in (require_file_internal): Add the required file to DIST_COMMON unconditionally. * tests/missing-auxfile-stops-makefiles-creation.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
