Rather than doing the translation at shell time,

and using lots of eval statements, why not just do the translation at m4
time?

And why is this line here, given that you already pre-initialized the
variable before the for loop?

How about something like this (untested)?

AC_DEFUN([AX_CHECK_HEADER], [
  HAVE_[]m4_toupper(AS_TR_SH([$1]))=no
  for dir in $2 do
    AC_CHECK_HEADER([$dir/$1], [got=yes], [got=no])
    if test "$got" = yes; then
      HAVE_[]m4_toupper(AS_TR_SH([$1]))=$dir
      break
    fi
  done
  AC_SUBST([HAVE_]m4_toupper(AS_TR_SH([$1])))
])
