I'm using SYSCONFDIR in one of my C source files. Currently I pass it
through the following definition:

AM_CFLAGS = ... -DSYSCONFDIR=\"@sysconfdir@\"

This is cluttering the gcc command line, so I want to define it in
config.h.


Isn't config.h created at configure time? AFAIK directory installation
variables should only be defined at make time.  See
``info Autoconf "Installation Directory Variables"''.

Maybe you could use instead a dedicated header, created through the
Makefile.  See ``info Autoconf "Defining Directories"''.[2]
