When you modify CVS Automake's configure.ac and then just run `make' instead of rerunning `./bootstrap', there are spurious differences in aclocal.m4 and the Makefile.in's, because ...aclocal --acdir=m4
is run instead of ...aclocal -I m4 OK to apply? Cheers, Ralf * configure.ac (ACLOCAL): Use `-I m4' to match `./bootstrap' procedure.
