   to be "$ac_top_srcdir"

well, turns out even ac_top_srcdir yields nothing (for me).  w/ further
mucking, i was able to get these variables set by adding the block:

  _ACEOF
  echo "configuration=\"$configuration\"" >>$CONFIG_STATUS
  echo "canonical=\"$canonical\""     >>$CONFIG_STATUS
  cat >>$CONFIG_STATUS <<\_ACEOF
  
  echo "HEY: $srcdir"
  echo "HEY: $configuration"
  echo "HEY: $canonical"

between the "# now get this" comment paragraph and the undefs= line
(without the indentation).  to check, i turned on command display
immediately prior to the cpp commands further down (~L24800) in two
places, like so:

  set -x
  $CPP $undefs -I. -I$srcdir/src $CPPFLAGS junk.c | \

when i do ./config.status --recheck, i see:

  HEY: /home/ttn/build/GNU/emacs
  HEY: i686-pc-linux-gnu
  HEY: i686-pc-linux-gnu

which shows the undefs being generated.  yuk!  now i'm feeling the
nausea from autoconf (1.1xx) for vms memories surrounding me....
time for bed.
