What do you think is wrong with it? The xerces dev packages
include the config.status files because some derived tools that use
xerces require information about how xerces was configured. See
libxml-xerces-perl for an example.
Well, thanks, but I don't know where to look at in libxml-xerces-perl.
Is /usr/lib the right place anyway?
config.status was never meant for this usage, and lauching it
demonstrates the point. It's not even a config.status as
generated by Autoconf 2.5* that is indeed able to configure
file it never saws, no it's a config.status that tries to
configure the Makefiles of xerces (just try to run it).
Finally, it seems to me that that is the point of pkg-config.
But not config.status.
Anyway, I thought this was a bug, if it's not, please close
the ticket.
