No, and investigating a little further it looks like the problem may be that @lib_frag@ and @libobj_frag@ are not being substituted by configure when using Autoconf 2.59e. Looking at the generated configure script, Autoconf 2.59e generates the following sed logic: /^[ ]*@lib_frag@[ ]*$/{ r $lib_frag d } So, in other words, it's only doing AC_SUBST_FILE substitutions if the substitution (@lib_frag@ in this case) appears at the beginning of the line preceeded only by whitespace. util/support/Makefile.in has: # @lib_frag@ # @libobj_frag@ and therefore it loses. It looks like this is an intentional change. From the Autoconf NEWS file: ** AC_SUBST_FILE The substitution now occurs only when @variable@ is on a line by itself, optionally surrounded by spaces and tabs. The whole line is replaced. I think just removing the # markers would be a backward-compatible change. It looks like many Makefile.in files in the tree are affected. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
