Nope, this doesn't work.  The source directory is not necessarily the
current directory.

I don't think it's particularly useful to put checks of static source
files in the build path.  There are quite a number of places that need to
be synchronized manually and there is no check anywhere.  It would
probably have been better to have one master copy of the file and symlink
it to whereever else it is needed.  (See libpq Makefile for several
examples.)
