The automake changes resulted in a big warning that is fixed by enabling
subdir-objects in configure.ac and ignoring the .dirstamp file it creates.

There was also a directory being created in the src/util with the name
'$(top_srcdir)'.  This is due to using a variable in the paths (no idea
why this is an issue), but replacing it with a relative path "fixes" the
issue.

I'll squash the following into your patch:
