May I ask why you use SYSROOT instead of the suggested MODULEDIR?
There is already a way to specify DATADIR. This is a standard
configure option and I don't think it makes sense to deviate from the
established standards for software based on autoconf/automake here.

If you simply added --with-moduledir=DIR to configure.in you wouldn't
have to touch any Makefile.am.
