Hello,
I've encountered a problem where a released tarball (of 'make dist')
generated by Automake-1.16.1 fails to build with non-gnu make (e.g.
"bmake" on BSDs).
The exact same project and 'make dist' with automake-1.15 builds fine.
It has something to do with non-recursive makefile structure common
to some gnu projects.
The problem may very well have to do with parts obtained from gnulib
or an implementation artifact from the template Makefiles.
I did a test build of GraphicsMagick using Illumos '/usr/bin/make'
under OmniOSce and under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using 'bmake'. The test
builds succeeded (even parallel builds), including the test suite.
GraphicsMagick uses a non-recursive build, but does not depend on
gnulib or 'po' files.
