Details:
AR_CONFIG_AUX_DIR macro in general.m4 does seem to have insufficient regex,
and does therefore not correspond to its description which is
_# AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(DIR)
# ----------------------
# Find auxiliary scripts (e.g. install-sh, config.sub, config.guess)
# in DIR. If DIR is a literal shell word and not an absolute path,
# it is interpreted relative to $srcdir; otherwise it is assumed to be
# usable as-is._
I experimented with a custom macro:
AC_DEFUN([MY_CONFIG_AUX_DIR],
[m4_append_uniq([_AC_AUX_DIR_CANDIDATES],
AS_LITERAL_WORD_IF([$1],
[m4_bmatch([$1],
[^/.*], [$1], # added '.*' suffix
[^[a-z]:/], [$1], # is that to match shell vars?
[${srcdir}/$1])],
[$1]),
[${PATH_SEPARATOR}])])
