what am I doing wrong building 1.8?

[Andy Wingo]

Hello hackers!

What am I doing wrong when building guile from the 1.8 branch? I'm a bit
ashamed to write, but this doesn't seem normal, and I've seen the same
on head:

    cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/guile \
        co -r branch_release-1-8 -d guile-1.8 guile/guile-core

    [everything fine]

    address@hidden:~/src$ cd guile-1.8
    address@hidden:~/src/guile-1.8$ ./autogen.sh autoreconf: Entering directory 
`.'
    autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext
    autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I guile-config
    autoreconf: configure.in: tracing
    autoreconf: configure.in: adding subdirectory guile-readline to autoreconf
    autoreconf: Entering directory `guile-readline'
    autoreconf: running: aclocal --force 
    autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy --force
    autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
    autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader --force
    autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
    configure.in:8: installing `./missing'
    configure.in:8: installing `./install-sh'
    Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
    autoreconf: Leaving directory `guile-readline'
    autoreconf: configure.in: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is used, but not 
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION
    autoreconf: configure.in: creating directory build-aux
    Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `build-aux'.
    configure.in:80: installing `build-aux/compile'
    configure.in:719: required file `build-aux/config.rpath' not found
    configure.in:44: installing `build-aux/missing'
    configure.in:44: installing `build-aux/install-sh'
    doc/ref/Makefile.am:24: installing `build-aux/mdate-sh'
    doc/ref/Makefile.am:24: installing `build-aux/texinfo.tex'
    libguile/Makefile.am: installing `build-aux/depcomp'
    autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

I can get things to work again if I copy ./config.rpath into build-aux/.
A bug, perhaps?

Regards,

Andy.
