Yes, it looks like an upstream wontfix. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2007-10/msg00005.html I made some tests and got automake work correctly (including double escaping, urg). But then I had obscure follow-up issues with libtool which I couldn't figure out easily. With Best Regards, Tim
