OK. So the problem is that the moved block that sets ALL_PROGRAMS,
ALL_COMMANDS_TO_INSTALL, etc. depends on $(SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS),
and that happens before we "include config.mak".
That makes sense. Will apply (I do not know if you want this also
on the maint tracks and if so which ones---I think it would matter
if you want to cut a maint release from 2.29.x or 2.30.x tracks).
By the way, I wonder if we can (semi-)automate looking for such a
mistake in the future. Does a simple rule like:
No variable that has "Define X if you want to distim the doshes"
at the beginning of the Makefile must be referenced before we
include config.mak
work?
Thanks.
