Arg, you are right.  But I'm not sure sticking srcdir in
ac_config_libobj_dir is the right thing to do.  For instance, in the
replacement of fnmatch, you have:

AC_CONFIG_LINKS([$ac_config_libobj_dir/fnmatch.h:$ac_config_libobj_dir/fnmatch_.h])

This idiom is expected to spread, for getopt and others, and it should
not try to write in the $srcdir tree.  I suppose there will be more
such examples where some replacement file will actually be in the
build hierarchy :(

So I'm more inclined to paste $srcdir in from of $ac_config_libobj_dir
where needed.

What do you (and other people :) think?
