Thanks for posting these references in the other mail: | http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2006/msg01038.html | http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2006/msg00472.html They are due to the Autoconf-2.59 bug in AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS that I mentioned earlier. They can be reproduced with ..../newlib/configure -C CFLAGS=' -Dfoo -Dbar ' --target=m68k-elf --host=m68k-elf And they go away if I rebuild, with Autoconf-2.60, newlib/configure and all other configure scripts that themselves call AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS. So there is no need to fix CVS Autoconf to make it less sensitive to whitespace changes: it does not have this behavior anyway. Should I hack up a patch that fixes things for you for 2.59 only?
