Package: automake1.9
Version: 1.9.5-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/aclocal-1.9/init.m4

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Directory path/to/product-3.0.0 is the top of the source tree using
automake et all. path/to/product-3.0.0 was configured with
--enable-maintainer-mode.

path/to/product-testing is a symlink to path/to/product-3.0.0. When I
`cd path/to/product-testing && make` after changing a Makefile.am,
`/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck` is invoked.

This fails with "configure: error: source directory already
configured; run "make distclean" there first" because file configure,
invoked by ./config.status, effectively performs the test `cd
path/to/product-3.0.0 && pwd` != "path/to/product-testing", which is
true, but should be false as the directories behind the different
names are one and the same.

A possible solution is replacing the test
  if test "`cd $srcdir && pwd`" != "`pwd`" &&
with
  if test "`cd $srcdir && ls --directory --inode .`" != "`ls --directory
--inode .`" &&

The test above occurs in file /usr/share/aclocal-1.9/init.m4 at line
35, and perhaps at other places.
