You need to generate locking.html in $(srcdir), since it will be distributed pre-built as part of the tarball.

Sometimes, it helps to use make -j1 to ensure that interleaved output from parallel rules isn't causing further confusion, although I don't know if it's easy to do that as an autobuild.sh parameter or if it requires an actual script tweak.
