But it looks like this has already been fixed in git: > http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=d990306 Hmm, actually the motivation for this patch was not to fix a bug, but to exploit improved automake, and not use an internal automake detail any more. If the patch also happened to fix a bug, all the better. But it's not clear to me. Deepak, can you post your configure command line and the output of 'make install' that shows the failure? Besides, I just found a bug with above patch, just a minute...
