Correct. You need to define it by yourself. An Automake conditional
based on "$host_os" will do the trick.

AM_CONDITIONAL([SHLIBS_IN_BINDIR], [case "$host_os" in mingw* | cygwin*) true;; *) false;; esac])

if SHLIBS_IN_BINDIR
AM_CPPFLAGS += -DINSTALLDIR=\"$(bindir)\"
else
AM_CPPFLAGS += -DINSTALLDIR=\"$(libdir)\"
endif

​Thanks for this, which I have incorporated into a patch for the relocatable documentation, attached, along with a minor patch to use better tags in a couple of cases in gnulib.texi.
