good question, thanks. The current situation is that AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR contains a check which contains a typo, thus it's almost impossible to trigger it. For details, see: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2005-05/msg00006.html It looks as if the intention was to allow only characters `m4_cr_symbols2' in the parameter. But this wouldn't allow characters - . / In particular, our beloved ``build-aux'' would be ``invalid''. I don't want to bother with this any more; I propose to remove the broken check. OK? Stepan
