configure $srcdir vs. $(top_srcdir) for automake?

[Steffen DETTMER]

Hi,

when in configure some test construction found lets say

  LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,--script=${srcdir}/lib/link.txt"

for automake in Makefile this should become

  LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,--script=$(top_srcdir)/lib/link.txt"

to work in subdirectories also. Inside configure, $(top_srcdir) of
course is not working and thus macros like AC_SEARCH_LIBS would
fail. Setting srcdir to '\$(top_srcdir)' or alike at the end of
configure.in fails in config.status.

oki,

Steffen
