Are you using the 'hal-cvs' Gentoo e-build or is this from CVS? I'm
asking because a similar issue came up last week; search the archives
for 'Is fstab-sync in newest cvs broken?'.

FWIW, this works fine with automake 1.9.1 and autoconf 2.59 (Fedora
Development); make checks passes and stuff gets installed into the right
places.

Cheers,
David
