gnulib-tool didn't copy GNUmakefile into gltests/ so it never existed. I guess either gnulib-tool needs to copy GNUmakefile into gltests/ too, or the configure.ac snippet shouldn't be part of gltests/configure.ac. I'd prefer the latter (I don't think GNUmakefile belongs in non-top-level directories) but don't know how to achieve it. Of course, it _could_ be an automake bug too. ;) /Simon
