Adding newlines and backslashes to an AC_SUBSTed value limits its use: It can only be used in particular places of Makefiles. If the line limit is a problem, I'd prefer to first move the unconditional AC_LIBOBJs to the module description. They represent more than half of gnulib's AC_LIBOBJ invocations. Bruno
