I failed: If wrapper.in is deleted before ./configure, it isn't rebuilt
and gives "config.status: error: cannot find input file:
tests/wrapper.in". If deleted after, it gives "make[2]: *** No rule to
make target `../../tests/wrapper.in', needed by `../../tests/autom4te'.
Stop.". A "make wrapper.in" gives previous "missing closing `)' for
arithmetic expression".

So I inserted a space by hand in tests/wrapper.in before ./configure and
everything works. Even "make wrapper.in" then works.

Much thanks, and sorry for the report of already solved bugs.
