The bootstrap script does not parse AC_INIT from configure.ac correctly if
AC_INIT is split among two lines; Results:
$ ./bootstrap
....
./bootstrap: autoconf --force ...
./bootstrap: autoheader --force ...
./bootstrap: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing ...
doc/Makefile.am:25: error: PU_RMT_COND does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
$ cat m4/paxutils.m4 | grep PAXUTILS
AC_DEFUN([_PAXUTILS],[
$ # ^^^^ That should be cpio_PAXUTILS
I don't think that parsing the package like that is correct approach but
dunno what is correct. Possibly something like this?
autom4te --language Autoconf --trace AC_INIT configure.ac | \
cut -d: -f 4 | sed 's|^GNU[[:space:]]||'
Not sure, but the workaround is to make it one-liner; attached. Note that
detecting defects like this is not very trivial..

Subject: [PATCH] confiugre.ac: workaround bootstrap problem
Bootstrap does not detect correctly the '$package' variable if the
AC_INIT line is split among more lines. This caused spurious
problems, e.g. s/cpio_PAXUTILS/_PAXUTILS/.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Make the AC_INIT oneliner.
