When config.status is invoked to regenerate a Makefile, I think it
might be possible to give an empty CONFIG_LINKS and CONFIG_COMMANDS as
well as the current empty CONFIG_HEADERS, to speed up regeneration
when there's a bunch of links.
* automake.in (handle_configure): Call config.status with empty
CONFIG_LINKS and CONFIG_COMMANDS when regenerating a file.
I guess the same effect would be obtained from something like the
following, unless this is only a new autoconf feature.
cd $(top_srcdir) && ./config.status $(subdir)/Makefile
