The problem is coming from C_INCLUDE_DIR (the source for the C-compatibility
headers), which is generated in aclocal.m4 and does not use glibcpp_srcdir.
This symbol is used in the c_base_headers target.  These should be considered
"generated" headers, where in the case of c_std headers "generated" means
"copied".

The fix lies somewere in the dark bowels of aclocal.m4.  The C_INCLUDE_DIR
symbol should use glibcpp_srcdir instead of top_srcdir.  I'm not sure if
top_srcdir is defined at the point C_INCLUDE_DIR get defined (it wasn't when
I wrote the original patch, since it predated the introduction of
glibcpp_srcdir).


Anyway, I don't have time to work a proper patch up at the moment, but at least
this is a pointer in the right direction.
