Dear autoconf,
I have received no reply yet, so am taking the liberty to <bump>.
BTW, is there a way to verify that this report has reached someone, besides waiting for an email reply?
You can check the list archives online, to see that it was delivered: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2016-01/index.html
Thanks!

Dear autoconf,
I am observing a bug with `autoreconf -i`. To my/our knowledge, this is not due to an error in our configuration but a genuine bug from 'subdir-objects'.
The symptom: after running ./configure, I find a directory src/tests/$(top_srcdir)
This is a known automake bug, not caused by autoconf; that may explain why you haven't seen much response on the autoconf list, but I don't know if there are any active maintainers on the automake list that have suggestions on how to work around it, or on when a fixed automake will be available (or if it is already available). A quick search found this, though: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2015-12/msg00001.html
(I am not subscribed to any autoconf ML, hence a Cc to my sender address is appreciated)
