Hi Bruno,


Do you by any chance have automake 1.14 installed as well?
You might have installed it for specific compatibility with something you were working with.

1) uname -sr
Linux 5.0.3-1-ARCH

2) make --version
GNU Make 4.2.1
Built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Makefile.in isn't the newest file at the moment, however, when reproducing the error I always used a fresh extraction from the tarball.

4) df -m

All files are on /dev/sda1, which wasn't full at any time during building.

This tarball works fine for me. Therefore we need more details:

1) Result of
     uname -sr
2) Result of
     make --version
3) Result of
     ls -lt --full-time Makefile.in Makefile.am aclocal.m4 m4/alloca.m4 \
     m4/as-underscore.m4 m4/cc.m4 m4/floatparam.m4 m4/general.m4 \

     m4/ltversion.m4 m4/lt~obsolete.m4 m4/param.m4 m4/perror.m4 m4/proto.m4 \
     m4/rusage.m4 m4/times.m4 configure.ac
   (Makefile.in should be the newest file among all these.)
4) Result of
     df -m .
