That's not true. autoreconf.in:autoreconf_current_directory greps for /^ACLOCAL_[A-Z_]*FLAGS\s*=\s*(.*)/ so it really only works with autoreconf to put literal stuff in that line. When aclocal is run from make, as triggered by the automake-generated rule, $(ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS) undergoes usual make expansion of course. Cheers, Ralf
