OK.  I will look into this.  But I have a more general question first:
so far I was under the impression that GCC and all of src always only
builds outside the source directory (and consequently, I never tested
that for the autotools upgrade).  Which parts of src can (could) be
built in-tree and for which parts is that usually done?

Just so that I can avoid more issues.

Wait ... did you start off with a clean tree after the autotools update,
or did you run 'cvs up; make' with a tree that was built before the
update?  The latter might show spurious issues.

Thanks,
Ralf
