Eric, First, here is the output from diff -c: https://gist.github.com/7d8c32849e4d72be5368 I ran `automake --version` and I have "1.11.1" And the "1.9.6" automake is from the libvirt build servers, not any of my machines. I was comparing the "./configure" output from the snapshot with when I run "autogen.sh" myself. I'm not sure about the other points you brought up. I just ran the typical commands that README-hacking says to. Mitchell On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 12:44 PM, Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> wrote:

Daniel,
Thanks for your response, I appreciate it. The `grep` on the two Makefiles is equivalent. I've uploaded a diff of the two Makefiles here: https://gist.github.com/da0e93a335be6a3a637b Let me know if you want me to upload the actual Makefiles as well, since I can do that.
Can you provide a context diff (diff -u or diff -c) rather than an ed-script diff? Context can be essential in a review.
At any rate:
< # Makefile.in generated by automake 1.9.6 from Makefile.am. ---
# Makefile.in generated by automake 1.11.1 from Makefile.am.
Is this stock automake 1.9.6, or does it have a distro patch to fix CVE-2009-4029? Using an older automake may be the root cause of remaining problems, if we are relying on a feature that only automake 1.10 or 1.11 provides.
What is 'automake --version' for you, and did you generate the tarballs, or is the automake 1.9.6 on someone else's machine?

Why the difference in which libtool .m4 files are provided?
< configure.lineno configure.status.lineno ---
configure.lineno config.status.lineno
There's no such file as configure.status.lineno; but that's attributable to a bug in the older automake that has since been fixed.
I've stopped looking at this point.
