Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment:

It's not that "srcdir" is broken - that undoubtedly was the value of the source 
directory on the *build* machine.  The problem is that "srcdir", (and likely 
some other build related config variables) has no meaning other than on the 
*build* machine at the time of the build.  It (they) cannot in general be 
meaningfully used at execution time, particularly if the install takes place on 
a machine other than build machine.
