Python won't package on alpha because VPATH isn't removed during
configure. This is because the following code on alpha isn't triggered:
if test "$ac_abs_confdir" = "$ac_pwd"; then
srcdir=.
fi
which (from what I gathered) is generated by autoconf. This in turn
triggers the check-clean-src check in Makefile, which results in
python failing to pass the install phase of the build.
Since autoconf is a mystery to me and the comment in Makefile.inc
references a utility long send to the great bitbucket in the sky
would this be an appropriate fix?
Of course to be committed after unlock.
