It seems that the variable "abs_top_srcdir" is empty - yet another 
automake/autoconf problem? (Which automake and autoconf version do you 
have installed?)

You should have a line like the following in your Makefile (not 
Makefile.am!):

$ grep ^abs_top_srcdir Makefile
abs_top_srcdir = /home/ulf/var/spool/GIMP/gimp-help-2

(I guess you will just get "abs_top_srcdir =")
Did you ever try "make preview"? It shouldn't work either, since it also 
uses "abs_top_srcdir".

Anyway, a workaround is to use a relative link instead:
    ...
    test -d html/images || $(LN_S) ../images html/
    ...

Bye,
Ulf
