This warning is normal.

What version of automake do you have ? All the version I tested
did not break here. It seems yours try to improove its reputation of
being nefarious.

Thanks, I will do that then.

Obviously something cut long line with '\<newline>' for no reason.
Could you check the pari.cfg file you used for modules_build ?
grep modules_build pari.cfg
should do. If the \ are also here it is a bug in PARI not in gp2c.

Anyway you can try to fix it manually by removing the \<newline>
and get something like

command=`echo "/usr/bin/gcc -c -o %s.o -O3 -DGCC_INLINE -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -no-cpp-precomp -fno-common -I/usr/local/include %s.c && -o %s.dylib -shared -mimpure-text -O3 -DGCC_INLINE -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -no-cpp-precomp -fno-common %s.o " | sed -e s/%s/$i.gp/g`

What version of autoconf do you use, and what is /bin/sh here?

Note that I don't see any reason why dotest/gp2c-run should work on Mac OS X 
alas.

Cheers,
Bill.
