Oh, I see. Yes, after reading the code I confirm your finding:

INSTALLDIR should be defined

1) for the code in the relocatable library (only needed if
   ENABLE_COSTLY_RELOCATABLE is not defined to 0). Its value should
   be a C string that contains (for a shared library) the installation directory
   of the shared library; often this will be $(libdir) on Unix excluding Cygwin,
   or $(bindir) on Windows or Cygwin.

2) for the code that makes use of the relocatable library, that is, that invokes
   set_program_name. Its value should be a C string that contains the 
installation
   directory of the program; often this will be $(bindir).
