Unless I remove the offending line (see the appended patch), configure fails with "../src/src/gllib/getloadavg.c is missing" message. apparently $srcdir is "../src" and $1=$gl_source_base="src/gllib" which cannot be combined into anything sensible. no other module does such a check, so it is not clear why getloadavg should.
