Hello,

The path of test-driver into the generated src/tests/Makefile used in paral=
lel tests could end in an absolute or wrong path in some cases like:
- Build dir separated from source dir.
- ./configure run with absolute path

In automake-1.14.1/bin/automake.in $am_config_aux_dir is defined relative t=
o $(top_srcdir). This variable is used in handle_per_suffix_test function t=
o call test-driver in parallel-tests. $top_srcdir is not anymore a relative=
 path and will end by calling test-driver from an absolute path of source d=
irectory.

In Yocto build directory was separated from source directory and package te=
st framework run some tests at runtime on target. Having an absolute path f=
or test-driver in Makefile could cause problems.

I propose for test-driver the path to be relative path and $top_builddir fo=
r now looks to guarantee this path. In this way the tests can be run at bui=
ld time and runtime.
Please find attached proposed patch.
Could you share your view on this issue?

Thanks,
Adrian Calianu
