 In configure.in, I have:
 
 AC_INIT
 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(foo,1.0)
 AC_PROG_CC
 AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)
 
 In Makefile.am, I have:
 
 check_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
 libfoo_a_SOURCES = foo.c
 
 
 I had to touch a whole lot of files to placate Automake's desire to adhere
 to the GNU coding standard, but that's not relevant to the PR.
 
 The output, which I don't expect, is:
 
 Makefile.am:1: invalid variable `check_LTLIBRARIES'
 Makefile.am:2: invalid unused variable name: `libfoo_a_SOURCES'
