Using autoconf 2.57

In my Makefile.in I have

srcdir = @abs_srcdir@

But when I run ./configure from the srcdir I get this in the resulting
Makefile...

srcdir = .

Can anyone tell me why it isn't `srcdir = /an/absolute/path' ?

The system is Linux (kernel 2.6.5).
The shell is bash (GNU bash, version 2.05a)
