Haven't tracked it down yet, but I'm in the midst of the infrastructural changes relating to autotools, rather than the ports themselves right now. I have one relatively large-sweeping patch in ports/66037 waiting for a 4-exp run (then fixes, and another). Next step after that is to kill off the "default" autoconf and automake, (without version suffix), moving all of them to version numbered setups (as has already been done with libtool), so that ports really do have to use the appropriate Makefile knobs, rather than relying on current behavior. Then, of course, after that, though this can run in parallel after 66037 is committed, is to migrate ports over to the latest and greatest (?!:) versions of libtool/autoconf/automake. Whilst there are a whole slew of backwards incompatibilities, certainly migrating anything from automake17->18, and autoconf257->259 should be relatively straightforward. -aDe
