Actually, this is a bug/feature of Automake, that these variables are not propagated by default. A possible workaround is to place AC_SUBST([abs_top_builddir]) to your configure.ac. I suggest that Automake automatically sets these make variables: abs_srcdir abs_builddir abs_top_srcdir abs_top_builddir (Another variable, which is documented in the Autoconf manual but not propagated to Automake-generated makefiles, is ``builddir'', which is always set to ``.''--but that was already discussed here.)
