Ahh, now I see, it is an automake option, too; ok, thanks :)

well... happy debugging in case something wents wrong :)
Maybe this was some system supporting some other build mechanism
beside autoconf.
  BTW, we had this in the past too. But when it is getting
  non-trivial (auto generated sources, libs with conditionals,
  dynamic things, "strange special steps that are needed"...) all
  "build environments" we used - except autoconf/automake - failed.

Thanks again for the explantions! It is very helpful.

oki,

Steffen
