Subject: xemacs-19.15 configure builds broken Makefiles

I unpacked the code for 19.15 in the directory

	/home/lda/linux/xemacs/19/xemacs-19.15

and ran `configure' with no arugments on a Linux 2.0.29 host
(vanilla Slackware 3.1 distribution).

It produced all of the right stuff in all the right places,
with one exception:  the Makefiles all refered to the path

	/home/lda/ 1 /xemacs/19/xemacs-19.15

I renamed /home/lda/linux to /home/lda/xlinux and the problem went away.

I looked at `config.status' and found that it calls the C preprocessor
on these files.  My guess is that there's a #define linux 1 somewhere.
The may be a known bug, but since I'm new to these lists, I don't yet
know the list of known bugs.

This happens with xemacs-20.1.b[89], too.
