I'm not an expert in autotools. The reason I also have "else" case in my code is that I want to do "+=" in the USE_GNULIB case below. That only works if system_elf_libelf_test_CPPFLAGS is defined, which curiously it is not if you don't explicitly set it before (even though it is implicitly there somehow ... ?!?). In particular I get the following error from autoconf if I naively merge your patch: > Ulf@Ulf-PC MINGW64 /d/elfutils$ autoreconf -fi > tests/Makefile.am:617: error: cannot apply '+=' because > 'system_elf_libelf_test_CPPFLAGS' is not defined in > tests/Makefile.am:617: the following conditions: > tests/Makefile.am:617: INSTALL_ELFH and USE_GNULIB > tests/Makefile.am:617: either define 'system_elf_libelf_test_CPPFLAGS' in > these conditions, or use > tests/Makefile.am:617: '+=' in the same conditions as the definitions. > autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 As this only applies to my code, you are of course free to apply your version upstream. It probably makes no difference if the USE_GNULIB case isn't there. I will adapt my code then. best, Ulf
