CONFIG_FILES

[wolfgang haefelinger]

Greetings,

autoconf manual states in 15.1 that
>> `config.status' now supports arguments to specify the files to 
>> instantiate [..] Before, environment variables had to be used. 

Perhaps a known problem but the new approach is not identical to
the old one.

This works well:

 $ CONFIG_FILES=./Makefile config.status
 config.status: creating ./Makefile

But this fails:

 $ ./config.status ./Makefile 
 config.status: error: invalid argument: ./Makefile


I'm using GNU autoconf 2.59.

Regards,
Wolfgang.
