Ok, I have now adjusted the automake build for the test suite to the ant approach. The ant build simply collects all .cpp files below tests/src/** and directly links the object files to one executable, without creating static archive libraries for each sub directory. I think this is a proper approach; some hints on cppunit also say not to use (static) libraries with cppunit, due to similar problems. If there are no objections, I will commit this ...
