CONFIGDIR = ${PWD}/testdir/config

balay@ypro ~ % ls ${PWD}/testdir
ls: /Users/balay/testdir: No such file or directory

The failure occurs even if I create this file

balay@ypro ~ % mkdir testdir
balay@ypro ~ % touch testdir/config
balay@ypro ~ % ls -l ls ${PWD}/testdir/config 
ls: ls: No such file or directory
-rw-r--r--  1 balay  staff  0 Mar  7 19:16 /Users/balay/testdir/config
balay@ypro ~ % ./make-4.4.1/make 
zsh: segmentation fault  ./make-4.4.1/make
balay@ypro ~ % 

Its strange that it works on some systems [yours and another one mentioned 
earlier :arm64-apple-darwin22.3.0 with "Apple clang version 14.0.0 
(clang-1400.0.29.202)"] but not on the systems I have access to. [also listed 
earlier..]
