(I must be missing something, but what?) 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.
