EXTRA_DIST is intended for files that must unconditionally be part of the tarball, so it should be outside HAVE_SANLOCK. Once that is fixed, then there is no need to cp an unchanged qemu-sanlock.conf from srcdir to builddir in a VPATH build, not to mention that $(builddir) is not supported in the automake in use in RHEL 5.
The way that EXTRA_DIST honors Automake conditionals is, in my opinion, surprising. In some of my own projects, I've just added noinst_HEADERS += $(EXTRA_DIST) outside any Automake conditional to fix that. When you do that, any file mentioned in EXTRA_DIST is always distributed, regardless of conditionals.
