ATM I use autoconf 2.59 and I would prefer to stay with this
version.  AFAICS the problem is that autoconf 2.59 does not
set value of 'top_builddir'.  So the following changes to
variable settings are problematic:

-build_libdir = $(abs_top_builddir)/src/lib
+build_libdir = $(top_builddir)/src/lib

+axiom_top_builddir = $(top_builddir)/build
+axiom_builddir = $(axiom_top_builddir)/$(build)
-axiom_configdir = $(abs_top_builddir)/config
+axiom_configdir = $(top_builddir)/config
