There were quoting problems in the toplevel. I fixed them not long ago. There are more, caused by bugs in autoconf, so passing program-transform-names which contain backslashes doesn't always work right. I think you may be right about the -e -e thing, but autoconf 2.5x and 2.13 both use ; instead. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
