I would suggest here to tweak lisp/Makefile to rather create a relative link with something along the lines of

Actually, this change cannot be implemented.  You are assuming the ESS
lisp files will be stored in a sub-directory of site-lisp.  That is the
default for Emacs, but not the default for some of the other emacs
variants (which are also in Makeconf now with corresponding SITELISP
entries).  And, furthermore, the make variables SITELISP and LISPDIR
are arbitrarily configurable to deal with any situation that presents
itself to the user.  In this case, can't you just set uncomment the
defaults for GNU Emacs on Mac OS X?
