Sorry for being late with the comments, but it looks like some very old Automake doesn't understand that the argument to AC_CONFIG_HEADER or AM_CONFIG_HEADER can be quoted.
Regarding AM_CONFIG_HEADER vs AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, the documentation for Automake says:
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS Automake will generate rules to rebuild these headers. Older versions of Automake required the use of AM_CONFIG_HEADER; this is no longer the case today.
So I suggest that we keep AC_CONFIG_HEADERS. Automake's NEWS file says AM_CONFIG_HEADER is obsolete since version 1.7.

That's another sign of an obsolete version of Automake. "nodist_" was introduced many years ago, back in the good old days when I had time to track its progress. NEWS says it was introduced in Automake 1.5!
Perhaps we should require version 1.7 by adding this to the top-level Makefile.am:
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = 1.7
