Great, thank you! That means bootstrap can be reverted to not tracing gl_INIT_PACKAGE again, right? Another nice effect is that the 'redundant' ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 is no longer essential. Now I've noticed a separate issue with the VERSION_NUMBER docs: running 'make dist' in a dirty worktree seems to get stuck in an autoreconf loop involving GNUmakefile, judging from this message: INFO: running autoreconf for new version string: 0.0.0.4-9a38-dirty Here, _curr-ver has a -dirty suffix but VERSION does not. The loop does not happen if I commit all local changes, or remove the sed -e 's/dirty$/modified/' invocation from configure.ac. -- Basil
