Re: problem with autoconf output for AIX

[Alexandre Duret-Lutz]

| I'd like to forward some information about what appears to be an
| autoconf bug on AIX 4.3.3 (at least).
| 
| I do not have access to an AIX machine myself, but am providing this
| information based on a bug report filed against the Expat project on
| SourceForge, of which I am a maintainer.

| 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=576396&group_id=10127&atid=110127
| 
| indicates that the paths in the generated configure script are not set
| correctly; $objdir is used instead of $output_objdir.  The reported
| indicates that this change to the generated configure solves the
| problem:
