Yes, and I installed the following patch for that Autoconf bug. I suspect that the only reason it hasn't been noticed before is that most traditional 'make' programs don't warn about the misuse of $<. 2004-03-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@xxxxxxxxxxx> * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Don't use $< in a context where POSIX doesn't require support for it. Use $@.in instead. Problem reported by Anthony N.
