The above definitly comes from automake (both the binutils snap and the
last release (1.4)) and looks very like a bug.
It doesn't appear to affect the build so I don't think there is a reason
to worry about it for 5.0. Poking around the automake perl (?) script it
appears to do a dirname() for some cases but not others.
