PR? This isn't a bug in the GCC build system, but rather a 
pecularity in the way GNU Automake implements `srcdir' and 
`objdir'.  With the current implementation of it, the dirs 
are created as each is cd'd to.  Because of that, the dir 
`fixincludes' is not created.  If this is a PR, it's in 
Automake.  Post to the Automake mailing lists.

P.S. Technically, every [proper] Makefile on earth has the 
programs it makes as prerequisites.  Two for Automake.
