I gather that you are saying that the
  srcdir=${srcd...@abs_srcdir@}

part was never needed since v1.11-138-gc6bbc45, and at that time already
should have been
  srcd...@abs_srcdir@

(modulo quoting).  In that case, the patch is fine, thanks.

Your verbose explanation above and this seem to contradict each other.
