Thanks for the quick report!

That happened because some modules added stat-macros.h to lib_SOURCES,
while at least one .m4 file `required' it via AC_LIBSOURCES.
I've created a new module, stat-macros, and made
the others that use stat-macros.h depend on it.

ChangeLog
2005-03-22  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * modules/stat-macros: New module.
        * modules/canonicalize, modules/euidaccess, modules/file-type,
        * modules/filemode, modules/lchown, modules/makepath,
        * modules/rmdir, modules/stat: Depend on new stat-macros module
        rather than listing lib/stat-macros.h manually.
        Don't add stat-macros.h to lib_SOURCES or list it in Files: section.
