pr401*.test and BSD make: computing LIBOBJDIR

2006-05-06 Thread Ralf Wildenhues
1) On alphaev7-dec-osf5.1b, pr401.test fails like this in the last part of the test (subdir-objects, Test using LIBOBJS from parent directory, the distcheck part from testSubDir/pr401-1.0/_build): | configure: creating ./config.status | config.status: creating Makefile | config.status: executing d

remake4.test spurious failure on testdrive BSDs

2006-05-06 Thread Ralf Wildenhues
