OK, well, the directories are certainly mixed up, but I can't tell why.
It appears that the leading part of the path is missing -- each path
should begin with /home/xxx/maxima (or whatever the prefix was) but
it has gone missing.

What is the output of "cat src/autoconf-variables.lisp" ?
Are you building from a tarball or from Git? or something else?

For what it's worth, I am unable to reproduce this problem. I am
working on Ubuntu 14.04 -- perhaps there is some unstated
assumption about how different versions of the build tools work.
For the record, autoconf --version => 2.69
and automake --version => 1.14.1 on my system.
