I am unclear why this change has any effect.  What are the values of
srcdir, top_srcdir, and top_builddir in intl-scm/Makefile.


That's the heart of the problem. For the situation that causes problems they are

srcdir=../../../gnucash-1.9/intl-scm
top_srcdir=../../../gnucash-1.9
top_builddir=..

The cwd at the time is /tools/gnucash-1.9/build/darwin/intl-scm and all of these paths are relative to that directory. The makefile builds a list of files relative to top_srcdir (while in /tools/gnucash-1.9/build/darwin/intl-scm), then cd's into srcdir and tries to use that list. srcdir is /tools/gnucash-1.9/gnucash-1.9/intl-scm which is one level closer to the root than the directory where the list was constructed so the relative paths fail.

The original code produces a list that starts with

../../../gnucash-1.9/src/app-utils/app-utils.scm
../../../gnucash-1.9/src/app-utils/c-interface.scm
../../../gnucash-1.9/src/app-utils/config-var.scm

These are valid in /tools/gnucash-1.9/build/darwin/intl-scm where they were constructed, but not in /tools/gnucash-1.9/gnucash-1.9/intl-scm where they are used.

The changed code produces

../src/app-utils/app-utils.scm
../src/app-utils/c-interface.scm
../src/app-utils/config-var.scm

These are valid in /tools/gnucash-1.9/gnucash-1.9/intl-scm. They are not valid in /tools/gnucash-1.9/build/darwin/intl-scm, but they aren't used there.

The list produced by the original code would also be correct if it had one less "../" on it since while you're in srcdir ../../gnucash-1.9/src is the same as ../src.

I hope this makes things somewhat more clear. This isn't the only way to fix this, but it seemed reasonable.
