autoreconf -s

[Ralf Corsepius]

Hi,

What is autoreconf -s meant to do?

Is autoreconf's "-s" actually meant to be a switch to autoreconf's "-i"
flag? 

In this case, autoreconf --help is misleading:

# autoreconf --help
Usage: /opt/gnu/bin/autoreconf [OPTION] ... [CONFIGURE-AC or DIRECTORY]
[..]
  -i, --install   copy missing auxiliary files
  -s, --symlink   instead of copying, install symbolic links
[..]

It also would mean that running "autoreconf -s" (Without further
options) is meaningless.
