Not to put too fine a point on it, but I have forgotten more about =20 how libtool/autoconf/automake interact than most people will ever know. > This is not a religious argument.

Given that devel/gnu-{libtool,autoconf,automake} haven't been =20 changed, I fail to understand what the problem is here. Of course, =20 if you're mixing and matching the gnu- prefixed tools with the ports =20 tools, then things are very likely to break. There's a big banner =20 comment in bsd.autotools.mk, and the gnu-* ports, about that. Caveat =20= emptor. -aDe
