Here is some text from the GNU make manual. "Except by explicit request, make exports a variable only if it is either defined in the environment initially or set on the command line, and if its name consists only of letters, numbers, and underscores. Some shells cannot cope with environment variable names consisting of characters other than letters, numbers, and underscores. The special variables SHELL and MAKEFLAGS are always exported (unless you unexport them). MAKEFILES is exported if you set it to anything. make automatically passes down variable values that were defined on the command line, by putting them in the MAKEFLAGS variable." I don't see evidence that srcdir will normally be available in libtool's environment.
