Subject: bug#11232: automake-1.11.4 regression
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2012 02:04:13 +0400

Hi,

Commit v1.11-759-g368f1c4 (git describe --contain v1.11-759-g368f1c4 says
it is v1.11.3b~3^2~1) introduced a regression.  GNU automake used to
support shell commands in installation directories, but it seems to be
inadvertently broken now because of the change in shell quoting.
In 3 of 24 places where MKDIR_P commands are generated, automake uses
single quotes, while in other 21 places it still uses double quotes:

$ git grep "^[[:space:]]*\$(MKDIR_P) '" v1.11-759-g368f1c4^:lib | wc -l
0
$ git grep "^[[:space:]]*\$(MKDIR_P) '" v1.11-759-g368f1c4:lib

The patch containing the fix with test case will follow shortly.
