I tested with GNU make, and != is not working.

After looking around, I suspect the only sane way to handle this is to
require and enforce the use of GNU make, and the second best option is
to rewrite the use of $(shell cmd).  Something like this might work:

diff --git a/testsuite/samples/Makefile.am b/testsuite/samples/Makefile.am
index 0b0caf7..3ec335a 100644
--- a/testsuite/samples/Makefile.am
+++ b/testsuite/samples/Makefile.am
@@ -18,7 +18,7 @@

 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = dejagnu -Wno-portability

-abs_srcdir=$(shell cd $(srcdir); pwd)
+abs_srcdir = $(abs_top_srcdir)/testsuite/samples

 CLEANFILES =  \
       gnash-dbg.log \

Happy hacking,
