Maybe something like this from libio/config.shared:

case "$srcdir" in
  /*) echo 'INSTALL = $(srcdir)'/"${TO_TOPDIR}install-sh -c" ;;
  .)  echo 'INSTALL = $${rootme}'"${with_multisrctop}${TO_REAL_TOPDIR}install-sh
 -c" ;;
  *)  echo 'INSTALL = $${rootme}$(srcdir)'/"${TO_TOPDIR}install-sh -c" ;;
esac

Presumably we do that somewhere in configure.in and the right thing will
happen.
