If EMACS is marked precious, then this is perfectly valid behavior of autoconf. The question is who is marking it precious (that is, using AC_ARG_VAR([EMACS]) in some form, so that ./configure --help lists $EMACS as one of the variables that affects configure operation). Nothing in the autoconf manual documents the use of EMACS, nor did I find any evidence of EMACS being used in autoconf source code, so this is probably something in your configure.ac and not in autoconf itself. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
