No; expat/Makefile.in:301 sets VPATH to:
$(srcdir)/..:$(srcdir)/xmltok:$(srcdir)/xmlwf:$(srcdir)/xmlparse
As you can see, the leading $(srcdir) is present here.

The Makefile generated by configure sets VPATH to:
/..:$(srcdir)/xmltok:$(srcdir)/xmlwf:$(srcdir)/xmlparse

However, when I delete the generated Makefile, run autoconf, and then
run configure again, the new Makefile sets VPATH to:
$(srcdir)/..:$(srcdir)/xmltok:$(srcdir)/xmlwf:$(srcdir)/xmlparse

What do you think of that?
