This compiles, thanks.

No bk export? Then it's VERY dangerous.
Imagine you have some write (or whatever) related experimental code in
your own tree (quite possible IMHO :) and you can pack and release it
accidently without realising. It would be extremely hard later to track
down that the released package was different than the one thought to be
released!
autoreconf also seems to be a workaround for a bug (inconsistency) that
you, and only you, have in your tree. For me it seems during the autotools
upgrade things got mixed up. Or SUSE 9.1 BETA autotools are buggy and in
that case you should report ;)
