Hello Lynn,

Thanks for the report.

FWIW, Automake 1.10 is current.

The snapshot should be updated once daily, so it shouldn't be much
different from the CVS version.  FYI, there are currently two active
branches: branch-1-5, where 1.5.24 will come from, and HEAD, which is
where 2.0 will come from.

Now to the actual bug report: The failures of test 49 are known, I'm
still working on a patch to fix them on all systems:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2007-02/msg00033.html>

The failure of 25 is new to me.  Do you have a libltdl.so.7 installed in
a place where the link editor finds it by default?  If yes, is there a
libltdl.la file installed alongside with it?  If not, why not, who
removed it?  It should be present.

There is still another failure in libltdl/m4/ltdl.m4: it won't reject
the external libltdl if only libtldl.so is new enough but ltdl.h is too
old (can happen if LDFLAGS was set correctly but CPPFLAGS wasn't).  In
that case there will be a link error due to `lt_preloaded_symbols' being
undefined.  Guess I'll fix that too...

Cheers,
Ralf
