I cannot reproduce this, with today's git head, which still has the
backslash:
# Specify what files are to be created.
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile glob/Makefile po/Makefile.in config/Makefile \
doc/Makefile w32/Makefile])
After running "autoreconf -i", I get this:
# Handling of arguments.
for ac_config_target in $ac_config_targets
do
case $ac_config_target in
"config.h") CONFIG_HEADERS="$CONFIG_HEADERS config.h" ;;
"depfiles") CONFIG_COMMANDS="$CONFIG_COMMANDS depfiles" ;;
"po-directories") CONFIG_COMMANDS="$CONFIG_COMMANDS po-directories" ;;
"Makefile") CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES Makefile" ;;
"glob/Makefile") CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES glob/Makefile" ;;
"po/Makefile.in") CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES po/Makefile.in" ;;
"config/Makefile") CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES config/Makefile" ;;
"doc/Makefile") CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES doc/Makefile" ;;
"w32/Makefile") CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES w32/Makefile" ;;
*) as_fn_error "invalid argument: \`$ac_config_target'" "$LINENO" 5;;
Which looks perfectly fine. Could it be that you have an old version
of Autoconf? (I use 2.65, which is also not new.) Perhaps that bug
was already fixed in Autotools?
