Hmm. Maybe it fails due to absolute value for $(srcdir) (as computed
by configure from the path to it)? Please show the failure (cut and
paste!). The make implementation and version used is very interesting
to know, too: VPATH issues are very make dependent.
There can also be bugs that don't show up with certain values of
srcdir; ../configure is fairly common, and there have been suggestions
before to change distcheck to try something different.
Oh, BTW, there's a 99% chance this issue is Automake specific rather
than Autoconf.
Cheers,
Ralf
