For me the only workaround was to uninstall automake-1.10 (automake-1.8
is still installed), remove GNUnet, do a fresh checkout and run
'bootstrap' again.  Anything else didn't seem to work for some reason.
Unfortunately I've never used automake myself and don't understand much
about it.  Yes, now with automake-1.8 the uppercase MKDIR_P line is
gone.

BTW the SVN version of GNUnetd ran only for approx 4 hours before it
deadlocked again :'( I'm just going to report that in a different
thread.

Well, as long as it was up, it had quite extraordinary performance
(compared to what I saw the last months).  Started download of some
random files and had 500 B/s for one and 250 B/s for another file :)

best regards,

David
