Problem is, it would be potentially costly for automake to find out whether there is only one such object. And maybe even impossible: there could be @substituted@ sources, where it's not known a priori whether they are built or not. > That's why I > curious whether there was another reason that could cause this. No, AFAIK. Cheers, Ralf
