There's also a technical problem: Jim decided that in gnulib's git repository,

Having looked
through the module sources, there is no clear way of

So you can recognize it through BUILT_SOURCES.

However, since folks fixing the modules are highly unlikely
to be thinking about miniscule perturbations of libposix
interfaces,
Why not? They are thinking of adding a NEWS entry, too, for
incompatible changes? Bumping the library

I had to autoreconf to get rid of a ton of spurious configure time errors

2) Why a multi-line expansion of @PRAGMA_SYSTEM_HEADER@ does not work:
I explained this in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2008-10/msg00296.html.
AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE exists in Automake 1.11.

Thanks; this is good and would solve half of the problem. But an expansion
that contains #if and #pragma would also collide with 'make' syntax, as
explained in

So, let's start that discussion again: let's make an installable

How about a config.site file?
