$OEBASE/build/tmp/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/system-tools-backends-2.10.1-r0/temp/run.do_compile.12625

                        AUTOV=`automake --version |head -n 1 |sed "s/.*
//;s/\.[0-9]\+$//"`
                        automake --version
                        echo "AUTOV is $AUTOV"

As far as I can tell, this will pick up the host, not the contained version.

Tried to understand where this is spelled out in the recipe, but not seeing
it (afraid I'm new to this).


Thanks,
