This patch brought with it a somewhat unexpected and unexplainable (to me
and Frank, that is) side effect - "make distcheck" explodes:
gert@gentoo ~/openvpn-26.git $ git pull --rebase
Already up to date.
gert@gentoo ~/openvpn-26.git $ make distcheck
...
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: creating include/openvpn-plugin.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: error: in `/home/gert/openvpn-26.git/openvpn-2.6.1/_build/sub':
config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments
for automatic dependency tracking. If GNU make was not used, consider
re-running the configure script with MAKE="gmake" (or whatever is
necessary). You can also try re-running configure with the
'--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build
the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).
See `config.log' for more details
make: *** [Makefile:834: distcheck] Error 1
the relevant "config.log" is hiding, but there are some errors that look
relevant:
gert@gentoo ~/openvpn-26.git/openvpn-2.6.1/_build/sub $ less config.log
...
config.status:1694: cd tests/unit_tests/plugins/auth-pam && sed -e '/# am-

(many of them)
Not sure what to do about it... for now we've decided to move onwards
with the 2.6.1 release, as the "make dist" built tarball passes all
the tests - including "out of tree" builds - so it's not crucially
urgent ("yesterday" urgent), but it would be good to get this fixed again.
Anyone who understands autoconf...?
(This is on Gentoo, with automake 1.16.5, autoconf 2.71, libtool 2.4.7)
