xmessage (app) bombs out with git-build because of missing ChangeLog

Hello all.
While compiling the latest git checkout of xorg, I found that xmessage
seems to require a ChangeLog file not part of the repository files. This
makes the automake run fail as it sees the Changelog as a required file.
"touch"ing this file makes the problem go away, but should automake
require this (seemingly not present) file in the first place?
greets,
Jens
