Thanks for the tips. I should have done that in the first place...
I think that this patch would be the correct way to fix the issue.

It seems that your commit 01cd78f9d682ff75cc5ab1c2d21b911bdd9215b8
accidentally caused this. While cleaning up the handling of paths, I
think you accidentally removed this variable. This patch seems to
restore the behavior of the previous commits.

Then:
	gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir t1 dummy
	gnulib-tool.py --create-testdir --dir t2 dummy

Both t1/gltests/configure.ac and t2/gltests/configure.ac start with:

# Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.
AC_INIT([dummy], [0])
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([../build-aux])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE

Not a complete test but better than before :)
