[Build-common-hackers] Bug#462382: runs configure twice on application builds

[Riku Voipio]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.50
Severity: normal

cdbs appears to cause many autonconfigured applications to run configure
twice. For a recent example, boinc-app-seti[1]

firts in build target as expected:

-snip-
cd . && CC="cc" CXX="g++" CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2" CXXFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2" CPPFLAGS="" LDFLAGS="" BOINCDIR="/usr/share/boinc-dev" /build/buildd/boinc-app-seti-5.13+cvs20060510/./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --includedir="\${prefix}/include" --mandir="\${prefix}/share/man" --infodir="\${prefix}/share/info" --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir="\${prefix}/lib/boinc-app-seti" --disable-maintainer-mode  --srcdir=.  --enable-client --disable-graphics --disable-dynamic-graphics --disable-server --disable-static-linkage  

then in binary-arch for apparently some autobraindamage:

-snip-
aclocal-1.9 -I m4 && autoheader && automake-1.9 && autoconf
tools/Makefile.am:6: AM_LDFLAGS multiply defined in condition TRUE ...
Makefile.incl:9: ... `AM_LDFLAGS' previously defined here
tools/Makefile.am:3:   `Makefile.incl' included from here
tools/Makefile.am:5: `LDFLAGS' is a user variable, you should not override it;
tools/Makefile.am:5: use `AM_LDFLAGS' instead.
