On further investigation, my question reduces to the following: what is the standard way to exclude gnulib files from inappropriate syntax-check tests? As far as I can see, copying parts of gnulib/cfg.mk into one's project's cfg.mk is the obvious way, but it's a bit surprising that something like this doesn't happen automatically, since other autotools integration is managed automatically. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
