I gather that you are saying that the srcdir=${srcd...@abs_srcdir@} part was never needed since v1.11-138-gc6bbc45, and at that time already should have been srcd...@abs_srcdir@ (modulo quoting). In that case, the patch is fine, thanks. > > If yes, then this patch is fine. > "Unfortunately", there is no bug fixed by this patch.
