Hello bug-standards, bug-autoconf,
I would prefer if make-stds explicitly specified DESTDIR as an absolute
name. I've encountered a report a while ago where the user used a
relative one; it suits me right that I cannot find it right now, sorry.
Automake and Libtool both depend on this to be the case. Below is a
suggested patch against gnulib's copy of the file.
Cheers,
Ralf
