Hello,

I have a project that supports multiple platforms (windows and linux as of
right now). To implement testing functionality I use a library that I
haven't configured for windows in my project yet. As such, my configure.ac
has these lines:

AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile:src/Makefile])
AM_COND_IF([OS_LINUX], [
    PKG_CHECK_MODULES([CHECK], [check>=0.9])
    AC_CONFIG_FILES([tests/Makefile])
], [])

This seemingly causes automake to crash with:

automake-1.16: error: Makefile:src/Makefile in @other_input_files
automake-1.16: @other_input_files = (Makefile:src/Makefile)
automake-1.16: Please contact <bug-automake@gnu.org>.

I'm running on msys2. Any help would be appreciated.
