Greetings,
I'm looking for advice as to possible work-arounds or insight into
potential causes for the following error from automake 1.9.
Google shows some similar but not identical messages, and most of
the discussion makes it appear to be a settled issue -- either
automake 1.8 and earlier or some talk about BSD m4 differences
with GNU. The particlar case is the "unrequested trace `'" (note
the null name 1' -- most of the googlizing is about `include' or
`sinclude'); with not much in the way of help, just speculation.
