In my search for a successful approach, I picked up some patches from debian unstable, and combined them with yours. I wouldn't claim though that the extra patches solved the problem. I think what actually solved it was working through the re-autotooling in a particular order, and forcing the use of the latest tools. For some reason, automake kept wanting to use an older version, which errored out. Eventually, after forcing a more recent version, it started working, and I lost motivation to try to identify the exact issue involved. I think I tried to send an e-mail describing this issue I had with the patch, but it appears that web-mail garbled it. > NOT a showstopper, but next time pls remove the URL; once packages have > been adopted I delete them from the server so that link will be dead soon. > OK
