this is bad. as I explained, the modules/syscalls directory should be buildable using a pre-installed clisp, i.e., I must be able to redirect build-aux references to, say, /usr/share/clisp/build-aux/ > Autoconf requires it to be constant.

Bruno, sorry about 2 copies, I hit "reply" instead of "reply-to-all" first -- Sam Steingold <http://sds.podval.org>
