That would be fine with me.  Or a commandline switch for
`bootstrap', FWIW.

K.  Can you add that (either/or) and commit your original patch
please?

OK like this?

Darn, I managed to type ":r!cvs diff" before I saved the final version
in the other buffer.  :-/

Glad it's not just me that does that from time to time ;-)

       * bootstrap: Unless environment variable
WORKING_LIBOBJS_SUPPORT

You forgot to implement this part.

+# Have symlinks of the libobj files in top source dir:
+true && sublibobjs_supported=yes

  ^^^^^ ???

this on purpose to see whether someone reads my patches..)

Pretty funny, eh? Thanks for checking! (Could've pretended that I did

:-D  No sweat.

I have committed this real patch below to HEAD.

Looks good to me.  Thanks.

BTW, I noticed that "make distcheck" really does find out when libltdl
files are not installed with properly ordered time stamps -- since the
source tree is readonly then, new tests 14-17 fail aclocal execution.
Nice work!

Thankyou! *beam*

        Allow for portability with Autoconf 2.59, Automake 1.9.6,
        which lack AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR support.


        is set to true aka `:', symlink ..
        * argz.c lt__dirent.c lt__strl.c: .. these from the copies in
        libltdl.
        * configure.ac (SUBDIR_LIBOBJS): Automake conditional, set if
        bootstrap didn't make the extra copies of libobj sources in
        top srcdir...

        as well as the originals in libltdl/, in order to work when
        bootstrapped both with old and newer Automake/Autoconf.

* bootstrap: Unless environment variable WORKING_LIBOBJS_SUPPORT * Makefile.am: Add these to EXTRA_DIST if SUBDIR_OBJS is not set,

Cheers,
    Gary.
