I'm afraid that's true as well. From the NEWS file: ** @top_builddir@ is now a dir name: it is always nonempty and doesn't have a trailing slash. Similar change will be made to ac_top_builddir in a future release; the old style value, which matches (../)*, is (and will continue to be) available as ac_top_build_prefix.
