Not really. The particular issue Paul reported is one I did not fix yet. It can be worked around with PATH=$PATH:$source_tree/build-aux MISSING=missing install_sh=install-sh export PATH MISSING install_sh $source_tree/configure [...] The problem with fixing the quoting of $am_aux_dir is that I don't know of a possible quoting that will work in all cases where the variable is used (in a Makefile, in some shell scripts).
