Ah, there were TWO programs that use the file, and only one of them was
guarded in the Makefile.  Thanks for beating me to this fix.

As a followup, it would be nice to take advantage of automake's nesting
matching - if you write:

endif WITH_QEMU
endif WITH_TESTS
endif WITH_ATTR

in reverse order, then Automake will validate that you correctly nested
things.  We ought to do that everywhere in our Makefile.am; and that
means I ought to write a syntax-check rule to enforce it... guess I know
what I'm tackling next...
