Thanks for the hint.
I install my own versions of m4, autoconf, automake, libtool, etc.,
using --prefix=/p, and I put /p/bin earlier in PATH than /usr/bin, etc.
Because of that, I've always had to initialize
/p/share/aclocal/dirlist to contain /usr/share/aclocal.
Until today, I did it like this, so that uses of macros not
installed in my private hierarchy would still be found:
mkdir --verbose -p $(aclocal --print-ac-dir)
echo /usr/share/aclocal >> $(aclocal --print-ac-dir)/dirlist
Now I see that I must explicitly list /p/share/aclocal, too,
presumably before any other directory name, so I've done this:
mkdir --verbose -p $(aclocal --print-ac-dir)
printf '%s/share/aclocal\n' /p /usr >> $(aclocal --print-ac-dir)/dirlist
With that, all of the tests on automake.master pass once again.
Thanks!
