user sand...@crustytoothpaste.ath.cx usertag 572840 + posix kthxbye Apparently, this only happens if the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. Somehow, automake (probably Perl's Getopt) is more forgiving if it isn't set, to the extent that it accepts abbreviated forms. So, either gnome-autogen.sh needs to specify the full form, or unset POSIXLY_CORRECT (and if it doesn't want POSIX behavior, probably _POSIX2_VERSION as well).
