I've investigated a little and suspect that the rebuild happens
in tests/wc because the time stamp on tests/wc/Makefile.am
is exactly the same as the one on its dependent, tests/Makefile.am.in.
GNU make doesn't rebuild in that case, but HPUX's make does, hence
the failure you noticed.
In any case, I've changed both uses of $< in tests/Makefile.am.in.
All of the affected tests/*/Makefile.am files are generated from that template.

Thanks.
