[GENERAL] reading build config.log -- possible bug?

2011-11-27 Thread Rob Sargentg 
Looking to see where my new data directory is in recently built 9.1 I 
happened upon what could potentially be a bug in configure:


Just after the line which begins configure_args= (line 11068 for me, 
99% of buffer) I find:


datadir='${datarootdir}'
datarootdir='${prefix}/share'

I'm troubled that datadir may be getting set too early since that's the 
first mention of either variable in config.log? I don't see 'datadir' 
anywhere else in the file but that's not abnormal.


Paranoid but maybe they _are_ after me,

rjs

I think you're reading the alphabetized dump of variables' final values,
no?

Ah, yes... Note to self: Step back, see the larger picture...
