No you have not. Sreejith ran into the same problems with trunk in
march on one of our machines. I fixed this but it probably did not get
into 1.1

For the record I fixed it here:

r882 | mblatt | 2008-03-26 09:16:01 +0100 (Mi, 26 Mär 2008) | 1 line

On Amadeus the line continuation backslashes were eaten in
$(SOURCES). I do not
know why this patches fixes this but it appears to be safe. If you
have ideas why the problem is fixed please tell me

I would recommend to use the tarballs. I would suppose the problem will not
appear there.

Regards,

Markus

P.S.: By the way. Please let me know, if anybody knows what causes
this behaviour and more importantly why. (It is really strange...)
