You mean the change? I'm trying to overcome a problem compiling with Dec's 
make and with srcdir != builddir. This snippet in Makefile.am (ie the 
original snippet):

        for i in $(noinst_HEADERS); do \
                sed "1,/crop here for forms/d" ${srcdir}/$$i >> tmpforms; \
        done

Is expanded by Dec's make to:

for i in ../../../lib/include/Basic.h  ../../../lib/include/XBasic.h  
../../../lib/include/bitmap.h  ../../../lib/include/box.h 
[snip file list];
do  sed "1,/crop here for forms/d" ../../../lib/include/$i >> tmpforms;  done

sed: Cannot find or open file 
../../../lib/include/../../../lib/include/Basic.h.

Doing the same thing with gnu make:

for i in Basic.h XBasic.h bitmap.h box.h browser.h button.h canvas.h chart.h 
choice.h clipbd.h clock.h counter.h cursor.h dial.h filesys.h flps.h 
formbrowser.h frame.h free.h goodies.h input.h menu.h menubar.h popup.h 
positioner.h scrollbar.h slider.h tabfolder.h text.h thumbwheel.h timer.h 
xyplot.h zzz.h; do \
        sed "1,/crop here for forms/d" ../../../lib/include/$i >> tmpforms; \
done

You see the problem? One make gives the files their full path and the other 
doesn't. The trick, therefore, is to use only the filename part.

Any better ideas?
