First: What exactly is "the autoconf, automake" stuff?
You can get some stuff in a subdirectory, but not all:
configure/configure.ac, the toplevel Makefile (plus eventual input files
for it) need most likely remain there. (configure* can be moved with a
trick, at least for older Autoconf versions; but you don't want that.)
See AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR and AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR (if you use aclocal) for
more info.
Second: This stuff is very most likely not only suitable for GNU/Linux.
In fact, were your software for GNU/Linux only, I would not see the need
for the autotools.

I believe SUBDIRS needs to contain directories that are subdirectories
of the current one.
