Given the previous discussion, I think this should be rewritten as follows: am__cd = $(UNSET) CDPATH && cd where UNSET expands to "unset" or to ":". Perhaps I'll fix Automake to do that. First, though, I have to get Automake working on my usual platform (Solaris 8). Automake is badly broken right now (it assumes Perl 5.6, it assumes GNU make, and probably some other unportable assumptions like that). Since Autoconf insists on the latest Automake this means I can't easily work on Autoconf now either, sigh.
