Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [configuration] This patch fixes a build problem for m4-native experienced on Ubuntu 9.10, where autoconf/automake (AC_CONFIG_LINKS) ends up making GNUmakefile a symlink to itself. The patch comments out ac_config_links directly in configure, as autoreconf is not actually run for m4-native. I believe it should be safe, as GNUmakefile is actually unpacked from source, and what we want is to is to not touch it. Tested on x86_64_linux (Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.10). 2009-11-10 Esben Haabendal diff -urN m4-1.4.13.orig/configure m4-1.4.13/configure --- m4-1.4.13.orig/configure 2009-11-10 10:54:00.301707097 +0100 +++ m4-1.4.13/configure 2009-11-10 10:54:17.314206379 +0100 @@ -14860,8 +14860,8 @@ # only, it does not matter if we skip the link with older autoconf. # Automake 1.10.1 and earlier try to remove GNUmakefile in non-VPATH # builds, so use a shell variable to bypass this. - GNUmakefile=GNUmakefile - ac_config_links="$ac_config_links $GNUmakefile:$GNUmakefile" + # GNUmakefile=GNUmakefile + # ac_config_links="$ac_config_links $GNUmakefile:$GNUmakefile"
