Oren, could you post the versions of the autotools you use to produce the generated 
Makefiles in the release? This could be important for Dale.

On my Linux box, I had the situation that the distributed Makefiles work, but the ones 
generated using autotools do not. There was some change with the treatment of the 
CPPFLAGS; I do not remember exactly. I tracked this down to the fact that autotools 
version (automake 1.4 and autoconf 2.13) generated the files in another way than the tools 
used to generate the distributed files.

Cheers, Jörg
