Ricard, thanks for the report.

Olaf, this is referring to line 36 of the kpathsea/Makefile.in
distributed with TL'04.

Best,
karl

Subject: Small patch


Hello Karl,

It's been a while that I wanted to report the following minor 
problem with the kpathsea Makefile (actually, "Makefile.in").
Since now a new release is out, I finally do it. You have
a libtool line in which you quote "$(CC)", but this is wrong,
and can give rise to errors if one defines $CC to be something
like I have in my case:

i3c12a:rtorres$ echo $CC
/usr/local/gcc/bin/gcc -B/usr/local/gcc/bin/ -B/usr/local/gcc/libexec/gcc/

Becase I have the new release of gcc in /usr/local/gcc.

I attach the small patch that takes care of it.
Should I report it to the teTeX creator?

Best,
Ricard
