It doesn't resolve that way here either. The macro says:

	libwwwdir="$(THOTDIR)/../$(LIBWWW)"
	$$libwwwdir/configure

My makefile in ~/Amaya/LINUX-ELF/Makefile declares THOTDIR as .. . That's why
it works for me.

What I did to create my directory was

$ cd Amaya 
$ mkdir LINUX-ELF
$ cd LINUX-ELF
$ ../configure    (called without options)

Could you tell me what's the value of your THOTDIR value? It should
be @srcdir@.

Now why is my @srcdir@ being resolved to ".." and not yours? Did you use
the configure --srcdir option?
