* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_TMPDIR): $2 is the directory into which
the tmpdir must be created.

dir be in the build tree, instead of $TMPDIR.

* bin/autoscan.in: Improve the comments.
- Portability of the Autoconf package to Solaris.
+- Spurious warnings caused by config.status.
+ This bug is benign, but painful: on some systems (typically
+ FreeBSD), warnings such as:
+
+ config.status: creating Makefile
+ mv: Makefile: set owner/group (was: 1357/0): Operation not permitted
+
+ could be issued. This is fixed.
+
* Major changes in Autoconf 2.54
Released September 13th, 2002.

a critical section where neither the old nor the new version of
@file{existing} actually exists.
+Be aware that moving files from @file{/tmp} can sometimes cause
+undesirable (but perfectly valid) warnings, even if you created these
+files. On some systems, creating the file in @file{/tmp} is setting a
+guid @code{wheel} which you may not be part of. So the file is copied,
+and then the @code{chgrp} fails:
+
+@example
+$ @kbd{touch /tmp/foo}
+$ @kbd{mv /tmp/foo .}
+@error{}mv: ./foo: set owner/group (was: 3830/0): Operation not permitted
+$ @kbd{echo $?}
+0
+$ @kbd{ls foo}
+foo
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+This behavior conforms to @acronym{POSIX}:
+
+@quotation
+If the duplication of the file characteristics fails for any reason, mv
+shall write a diagnostic message to standard error, but this failure
+shall not cause mv to modify its exit status.''
+@end quotation
+
Moving directories across mount points is not portable, use @command{cp}
and @command{rm}.
