+       * automake.in (handle_dependencies): Set $require_file_found{'depcomp'}
+       if the depcomp file exists, before calling require_config_file on
+       `depcomp'.  This makes require_file_internal skip its buggy existence
+       test that would make automake fail (with `required file `lib/depcomp'
+       not found') when AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR is not set.
+
+       This change change does not fix the existing bug where, if `depcomp'
+       is not present in the build directory (at the top level), automake
+       still gives the inaccurate diagnostic about *lib*/depcomp rather
+       than ./depcomp.
