This would not help, because at the point when gl_LIBOBJS=`echo "$gl_LIBOBJS" | sed -e 's, , $gl_source_base/,g'` is being run, $gl_source_base has the value 'gnulib-tests', not 'lib'. > More problematically AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR is used there which > looks like it needs to be initialized before gl_source_base is set. Yes, the statement ac_config_libobj_dir=$gl_source_base is also out of order. > I'll need to do a lot more digging to figure all that out. It's probably not worth to try to fix the non-recursive-gnulib-prefix-hack module in this direction. Please feel free to revert my change to modules/non-recursive-gnulib-prefix-hack, and add a comment why 'lib' has to be hardcoded in this place. Bruno
