Hello, I have been hit several time by autoheader not getting restarted when I add an AC_CHECK_HEADERS and run make in a subdir. The attached tarball contains a testcase:
$ autoreconf -fi $ ./configure && make $ sed -ie "s/printf/printf scanf/" configure.ac $ make -C tmp $ grep SCANF config.h.in the sed command simulates an addition of a new function check. Running make -C tmp does trigger some autoconf, but not autoheader, and thus config.h.in does not contain HAVE_SCANF as grep checks. Using only make does get autoheader triggered, but make -C tmp should as well, since typically I'd want to add a AC_CHECK_HEADERS for something that I am doing in a subdir and want #ifdef HAVE_FOO to be immediately available without having to start autoheader by hand.
