Thanks.
Are you asking how to do this in a way that's not GNU make specific, or are you asking how to make automake not warn about it? For the latter, add -Wno-portability to your automake options (globally in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE or per-Makefile in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.) For the former, run the script at configure-time rather than at make-time and AC_SUBST the resulting value. Brian
