Hi,
from time to time, some of my rpmbuilds bail out during "make" run, which 
boil down to Makefiles created on the fly with commands containing "cd", 
because that echos the new path into the generated Makefile, rendering it
invalid.
E.g.: (excerpt from hylafax/man/Makefile.in)
cman.apps/Makefile: ${DEPTH}/defs cman.apps ${MANCAPP}
        ${RM} -f cman.apps/Makefile
        (${ECHO} '#!smake';                                             \
         ${ECHO} 'DEPTH=../..';                                         \
         ${ECHO} '@MAKEINCLUDE@ @MAKELQUOTE@$${DEPTH}/defs@MAKERQUOTE@';\
         ${ECHO} 'install:';                                            \
         (cd cman.apps; for i in *.1; do                                \
            f=${MANCAPPNAME};                                           \
            ${ECHO} '   $${INSTALL} -m 444 -root $${INSTALLROOT} -F $${MAN}/$${MANAPPS} \
                -idb $${PRODUCT}.man.client -src' "$$i" '-O' "$$f";     \
         done);                                                         \
        ${ECHO};                                                        \
        ${ECHO} 'uninstall:';                                           \
         (cd cman.apps; for i in *.1; do                                \
            f=${MANCAPPNAME};                                           \
            ${ECHO} '   $${RM} -f $${MAN}/$${MANAPPS}/'"$$f";           \
         done)                                                          \
        )>cman.apps/Makefile
Since similar sequences can be found in the other packages as well.
I wonder, why I suffer from this occasionally, but most of you seemingly 
not. Before I start digging into the bash source, I thought, I try to 
get some expert advice.
Does that issue rings a bell for anybody?
"cd" doesn't echo anything by itself. Do you have an alias that does
it for you maybe?
