   Maybe using cd ./src is safer ?

Except that src is not the only problem.  There are plenty of relative
names used all over Makefile.in.  I am not an expert in Makefiles, but
would the logical thing not be to execute stuff in a subshell, and
either set CDPATH to the appropriate value or unset it?  Makefile.in
already seems to do the latter at several places, but maybe there are
some inadvertent omissions.

Sincerely,

Luc.
