I have been investigating the cause of this.

The best I can come up with so far is the line that does the sed replacement.

/^X\(\/\).*/{ s//\1/p; q;}

When presented with ac_file=Makefile this substitution is returning 
. XMakefile which I am not sure where we get this from.  It seems to work
on the command line when passed XMakefile so I am not sure.

I've tried this in a small script and the same wrong thing happens.
Given ac_file=Makefile I get . XMakefile

I'd appreciate a suggestion as to what to look at.  I'm taking a lunch
break and then will have another look with fresher eyes.
