The macro $(SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR) is used in a double-quoted context, leading to nonportable "...`..."..."...`...", see <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Shell-Substitutions.html>. Proposed untested patch. (I also haven't checked whether there are other instances of this issue in 'make install' code.)
