Ok. Thanks.

I know that. What I would say was that gettext-tools/Makefile.in was not
generated by automake.

I think, while running autogen.sh, it seems that some problem occurred.

I'll try later again. But it takes too a long time, about 4-5 hours. T.T

Ooops. Sorry. Ignore this hunk, please. It's my private patch. ^^

Hmm... It seems that some problems happen to the copyright papers.

I received a email from Donald R Robertson III about a month ago about
the copyright papers. But I've not received any postal mail from GNU,
yet. So I emailed to him about this situation. Unfortunately, I've not
got any response from him at all, yet.

Ok, thanks.

Ah, ok. I thought the Makefile was GNU make-specific.

Thanks for the information.
