I believe you changed the meaning of the -m flag so it now requires a
pathname to the src tree and not src/etc. This breaks existing usage.
In the PR I filed there was a follow-on patch from Bjoern that amended
my suggestion to instead add a -M option to set the source tree. I
thought that was an improvement over my hack. In lieu of that you might
want to examine the pathname supplied to -m to try to provide backwards
compatibility by stripping any /etc suffix on the path.
