Well, I don't think those patches work well...  We've recently migrated
all the tests to use test-framework-sh module from Gnulib, which runs
each test in a separate subdirectory under $builddir:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=tests/init.sh;h=fbd293d642034efe6cfcab09532a1fb2d9d53a68;hb=HEAD#l26

So we cannot simply use $(abs_srcdir) instead of ../$srcdir, etc.

Could you provide actual errors you got with absolute path?
