I'm not particularly fond of that "feature" either. I think it has to do with trying to have libs that will work from the install tree vs libs that will work from the build tree. (i.e. perhaps different -rpaths, etc., and it may be aggravated by cross-platform issues). If you haven't done it already, I'd try a "make distclean" and (re)running ./autogen.sh and see if that helps. If not, we'll try something else. > I can't believe this.

Good question -- It's certainly not entertaining when it happens. To be somewhat fair though, I'd have to allow that the problem they're trying to solve is a fairly nasty one, and certainly isn't made any easier by being written in #!/bin/sh -- not a job I'd favor. (Personally, I'd rather have all those tools (auto* included) written in something like perl -- it's nearly as ubiquitous and *far* more managable. Of course perl couldn't use them then, but AFAIK, it doesn't anyway.)
