You know, there's a much more painless way to do this.  Autoconf already knows
that if you:

mkdir $ARCH
cd $ARCH
../configure

Then the build tree will be created automatically in and under the current
directory.  That's the whole point of the $srcdir variable in the first place.
In this scenario, srcdir will be set to ../XXX where XXX is each subdir
configure is creating a Makefile (or other file) in.
