No, I haven't reported it yet because I haven't had time to track it down
to a satisfactory degree.

For some reason, the following stopped working for us sometime after april
first.  Newer Automake doesn't create any LO-object dependencies for libbase,
so libbase is made from an empty list of objects.  ($(LinkHackSources) is a
hack fix for the IRIX command-line/arg-list too long problem).

[Coin/src/base/Makefile.am @ :pserver:address@hidden:/export/cvsroot Coin]

RegularSources = \
        SbBSPTree.cpp \
        SbBox2f.cpp \
        SbBox2s.cpp
#       [...]

LinkHackSources = \
        all.cpp

if HACKING_COMPACT_BUILD
BuildSources = $(LinkHackSources)
else
BuildSources = $(RegularSources)
endif

noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libbase.la
libbase_la_SOURCES = $(BuildSources)

EXTRA_libbase_la_SOURCES = \
        $(RegularSources) $(LinkHackSources)
