I use a an out of tree build i.e for bzr sources in "trunk/", I build
in "trunk/obj-mingw32/". Without the patch I get the error above. With
it, the tests build and run.

The compile-main targets in test/automated/Makefile.in was originally
copied from lisp/Makefile.in (according to the comments). It seems that
it has not been updated to match the recent changes for msys path
translation and relative paths.

The suggested patch simply updates the build targets to more closely
match how the updated lisp/Makefile.in does things.
