I believe the problem originates with

That changeset appears to INCORRECTLY use $srcdir on lines 179 and 181.
I am fairly certain both should be an explicit $builddir or nothing at all.

The same issue, of course, exists in r26006 on trunk.
However, Jeff corrected it in r26023.

It appears ticket #3033 already requests cmr of r26023 to the v1.5 branch.
So, I guess I've just encountered a known problem.

Since my scripts only do VPATH, you won't get any test results from me for
1.5.5rc2.

P.S.  I have no clue how a "make distcheck" could have completed with this
problem.
