It sounds like you want $abs_top_srcdir

Usually when people use a term like 'absolute' I assume that they mean
the real underlying path, removing the influence of symbolic links, so
that it reflects the operating system's opinion of the path. If a
computed path based on the specified path to the configure script is
ok, then $abs_top_srcdir is great.
