No ideas at all; this stuff has always worked for me (and everyone
else). Let's wait and see if anyone else notices a problem; in the
meantime I have a workaround by giving it more than one argument per one
of the examples.

I *haven't* blown away my tree and done a build from scratch, but istm
that is not something that would magically get things working.

Hmm. I'll try a distclean and see if that helps; maybe configure has
changed a bit and the cache is messing me up??
