| Hi!
| 
| I'm trying to hunt down a strange error message which occurs as a result of
| 
| AC_CONFIG_FILES([bin/test:test.in])
| 
| and having the build directory is a sub-directory of the source
| directory. Given the attached configure-script, do
| 
| $ cd <srcdir>
| $ mkdir builddir; cd builddir
| $ ../configure
| configure: creating ./config.status
| ./config.status: cd: ../../bin: No such file or directory
| config.status: creating bin/test
| 
| The file "bin/test" is created ok, but I'm confused as to why the error
| message appears. It seems from studying config.status that it is trying
| figure out the absolute path to the created files, but fails.
| 
| I've confirmed that this bug appears in autoconf 2.53.

Seems to be fixed in CVS, thanks!
