I'm not assuing you always have read-write.
Note that distcheck tests the read-only source tree so it's easy
to verify if my version of the patch worked in that case.
Your version doesn't, if you look at buildbots.

Now, about your specific case I was suggesting to have something
in autogen.sh _in_addition_ to the Makefile rule. Such additional
code would fit exactly in your situation as you'd get revno.h
generated when running autogen.sh in the source tree and it will
NOT get replaced by 'make' on the build bots.
