Thanks for checking, Paul. I see the same phenomenon with 2.71, I can't reproduce any difference between 2.71 and 2.72 (dev trunk), and I can fix the generated config.h.in and configure by making two changes: Unquote "kpse_otftotfm_auto_opts" in the second foreach (the one that invokes AC_DEFINE), and insert a newline immediately after the close parenthesis of the AS_IF(). The second change is not necessary to make m4_foreach_w iterate, but it *is* necessary to prevent the *result* of the iteration from running each "fi" together with the next "if", causing shell syntax errors. Optionally, also change AC_FOREACH to m4_foreach_w to fix the warning about AC_FOREACH being obsolete. Karl: you said that unquoting "kpse_otftotfm_auto_opts" did _not_ fix the problem for you. Is it possible that there's some difference between the complete Texlive configure script and the cut-down version you posted, that's responsible for this? zw
