02-distclean-test.diff

[derek]

I sent this some time ago, with a fix for automake.in but I didn't receive a
response.  In any case, the issue was that when AC_CONFIG_LINKS is used to
create a link, the links are never removed, even after a `make distclean'.  I
thought I had understood that `./configure; make all; make distclean' should
leave me with what I started with.

Someone let me know if I'm on the wrong track.  I've included the patch with
the test which proves the problem exists.  If I'm right about this, someone
let me know and I can forward my automake.in fix.

My FSF copyright assignment papers are already on file and have been for a
year or three.


        * src/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add distclean.test.
        * src/distclean.test: New file.
