I checked the proposed test sequence. They are successful with the
following exceptions:
1. 'make distclean' erases libcpu/*_dis.h files, so the first time the
package is built out of tree maintainer mode is enabled. But after 'make
distclean' in the build directory and making configure again, maintainer
mode isn't set, because 'make distclean' in this case doesn't erase files
in source directory.
2. I used 'make check' not 'make distcheck'. The latter fails even on
trunk, - some tests fail. It looks like LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't set properly.
When using 'make check' these test pass successfully. Does 'make
distcheck'
work?
Thanks,
