Re: Error make distcheck

[Akim Demaille]

| Hi,
|       This patch fix, the make distcheck errors with tests. In fact
| during a `distcheck' automake creates a `=build' dir, which contains the
| config.h file. So this file is not at the top source directoy.

Actually, please remove @toip_srcdir@: it has nothing to do there.

I didn't understand why I could not see the problem.  Adding -H to the
compilation command gave:

../../tests/calc.at:343: bison calc.y -o calc.c 
../../tests/calc.at:343: gcc -g -O2 -I../..  calc.c -o calc -H

Aaaaaaaaarg!  What the heck is that???  /usr/include/config.h!!!

What an excellent mean to be abused :(

bison-1.28c/=build/tests % head /usr/include/config.h            nostromo 11:18

This is a very serious bug in the Debian system.  Thanks for
insisting.

Please, replace top_srcdir with .. (or better yet, use top_builddir),
and apply.
