FWIW, I found this issue also while working on Gentoo, and I think the solution is to fix upstreams (and possibly add more commas so that this gets detected that much more often ;). I haven't looked at your exact examples (low on time right now), but instances I looked at were always underquoting in the (now broken) configure scripts, so I'm not inclined to assume this is an autotools regression yet, though I'm unsure whether the maintainers would classify it as such. Hopefully this issue is not too frequent for that to become quickly unsustainable, but I can't tell yet, I've only managed to send one patch on this topic so far. Have a wonderful evening. -- Arsen Arsenović
