I think I still have automake 1.14 lying around, but would be nice if automake-1.15 would have just accepted the patch :) *Most important - the patch seems to be working!* At least I got farther... On my "bare system" - initially NO extras installed to find 'hard', i.e., real dependencies. root@

an incremental build - isn't that what applying a patch to an official release is. A fresh checkout is 'all patches' and difficult to replicate, once another patch is applied. Or I am just too old of a dog and having trouble learning this new trick :) As far as above is concerned - I had automake

Actually, looking at this more closely - before make did not do anything in ./lib initially - now it starts there, and it still comes to a halt with GEN src/coreutils.h Funny how the lib stuff can be generated without src/coreutils.h - is that by design? I shall go back two steps (remove all, unpa

My "fear" is that autoconf has introduced this "catch-all" as I have been running into it more frequently of late (first time was last November when I took my first attempt at packaging gcc.) I shall look at the patch and let you know - however, regardless of whether it works or not - is this some
