Does your patch work for vpath builds, too? If so, isn't this something that should be submitted upstream? > 2.

Keep in mind that most (all?) of those are for handling older versions of the GNU Autotools, and/or for patches that have been submitted upstream but are not part of an official release yet. Or, they are for v1.5.x where we have "locked in" the versions of the GNU autotools for the entire series and won't upgrade, even if never versions fix the things we've put in patches for. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
