Sorry, should be "the inexistence of `lib-src' in the same directory where
`etc' exists".

This is exactly because the existence of `lib-src' in the same directory
where `etc' exists: please read `init_cmdargs' in main.c. The inexistence
causes Emacs not setting `installation-directory' to a proper value but
leaving it nil, so later in the Emacs' starting up process `doc-directory'
is left the one in nt\paths.h.
If you create `lib-src' in $(OBJDIR) and copy the file buildobj.lst into etc,
it will not use the "hardcoded paths" and use the correct path instead.
