+ * 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.
