If you rebuild the Makefiles on your own, you need to do it
with automake-1.10 or newer. This is mentioned in autogen.sh
in the top level directory.

Having target 'install' depend on 'installdirs' is not
appropriate in general, because it would cause unnecessary
recursion: In a build directory hierarchy of depth N (>= 1)
the "mkdir -p ..." commands of the leaf Makefiles will be executed N times. 1 time would be enough.

No subdirectories are involved here, but nevertheless I think
such a dependency would only lead to inefficient Makefiles.

Hi,

compiling gettext-0.17 in our openemebedded enviroment discovers
some errors
in gettext-tools/man/Makefile.am and gettext-runtime/man/Makefile.am
- install-data-local needs install-html, but only install-html-local is defined so rename it to
install-html

- installdirs-html does the same as the first line in
install-html-local so let it depend on
installdirs-html

attached is a patch for this

Bye,

Henning
