Through testing I found out again that DejaGNU does not cope with white space in absolute directory names anyway, regardless of srcdir being relative or absolute. That obviates my first point. Remains only the fairly minor src+build-tree relocatability point.
Hi Ralf, I remember a problem with gcc's 'make check' that could be related. Some tests failed when `pwd -L` was different from `pwd -P`, presumably due to the two different srcdir's. I could avoid this problem by first doing 'cd `pwd -P`'. Regards Peter Breitenlohner <p...@mppmu.mpg.de>
