I like the patch from the Autoconf point of view, assuming the Automake folks take their bit. One small point:
"Gary V. Vaughan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > +ac_libobj_dir= > +test "X${ac_config_libobj_dir-.}" != X. && > + ac_libobj_dir=`echo "$ac_config_libobj_dir/" | sed 's,/*$,/,'` That would mishandle the case where ac_config_libobj_dir consists entirely of slashes, or if it contains weird characters like backslashes or newlines in unusual positions. Is this possible? If so, how about something like this to avoid the problem? ac_libobj_dir= test "X${ac_config_libobj_dir-.}" != X. && ac_libobj_dir=`expr "X$ac_config_libobj_dir/" : 'X\(.*[^/]\)' '|' 'X/' : 'X\(/\)'`
