[Build-common-hackers] Bug#438141: cdbs is using $(CURDIR) without using quotes

[Kamaraju Kusumanchi]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.49
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I am unable to build gdb from source on a machine running sid. I did

$apt-get source gdb
$cd gdb-6.6.dfsg/
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot

The build log is attached in this email. The buildlog suggests that this is a
problem with cdbs using $(CURDIR) without using quotes.

Initially I posted the problem at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2007/08/msg00317.html and they
suggested me to file a bug against cdbs.
