We fixed a lot of whitespace-in-pwd related issues in git Automake (and recent Autoconf), but for one particular (and unfortunately quite common) issue, I don't know of a good fix that doesn't break backward compatibility for some other uses. Offhand I'm not sure whether the issue you're hitting matches this, so can you please state which Autoconf version you're using (and if not 2.62, then retry with that), if you have lots of time on your hands can you try using git Autoconf, and otherwise please show how you invoke configure and how it fails? I might not get to you again for some days. Thanks, Ralf
