Ah, I see what you mean now (will it break for clients who are
customizing with build_aux already).
No, I don't think it will, because setting only build_aux in
cfg.mk is already unreliable, so clients will likely have had to
search for and customize _build-aux too.
I don't know whether it's worse to leave those folks with a half
working build by adding to my patch something like:
build_aux ?= $(srcdir)/$(_build-aux)
But, I definitely like the idea of throwing an error if what
they have is inconsistent. I'll await your reply and then roll
an updated patch.
Cheers,
