Ok Thanks. I will have a look at this. For Symlinks: i use cp -p instead
of ln -s. can this cause the misbehaviour?

For Automake: i have gentoo/alt-prefix portage installed as system, so
i'm using whatever a corresponding linux for example would use. I now
double checked, but it seems i have only one automake installed:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/automake-1.10  0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
mduft build.libtool $ type automake
automake is /opt/gentoo/usr/bin/automake
mduft build.libtool $

As for the patch for 1.9.6: i cannot find a 1.9.6 installation here. I
will try and rebootstrap everything, but i have done this before running
the testsuite as far as i remember....

Cheers, Markus
