Eric responded to the relevant e-mails. really it was just me asking Per to send to bug-autoconf ;). > This bug does not happen with > > AC_CONFIG_FILES([foo > bar]) > > It can happen with > > f='foo > bar' > AC_CONFIG_FILES([$f]) > > or with obsolete: > > CONFIG_FILES="foo > bar" ./config.status > > which is not fixed by your patch. So I'd like to see more information > on how you triggered this issue, maybe I overlooked something, before > venturing into a fix. the referenced Gentoo bug (217976) is an example. if the autotool code in mysql-5.0.56 is rebuilt with <=autoconf-2.61 it works. if vanilla autoconf-2.62 is used, it fails. if autoconf-2.62 + Per's patch are used, it works (not suggesting that Per's patch is correct, just that it makes an obvious difference). see comment #3 in the bug as for the error output to look for during the mysql configure process (really the berkdb subdir). i can try to track it down further for more of a test case than "run autoreconf && ./configure with mysql-5.0.56", but if you could have a quick look see first, that would be great as you'll have an idea of what to look for in the configure.ac files. -mike
