You may want to consider renaming all of those to configure.ac instead.
That has been the recommended practice for several years now.

Have you tried automake conditionals, along the lines of:

SUBDIRS=
if BUILD_SUBDIR
SUBDIRS += subdir
endif
SUBDIRS += admin

so that you are passing literal subdir names to SUBDIRS rather than values
substituted at configure time?  The automake manual has a node on
conditional subdirectories.
