It causes an actual problem in that I have to force everyone to switch to automake 1.16.1, which is not packaged on any major GNU/Linux distributions currently so people have to build it by hand and start using that, which is not so trivial (you also have to remember to set ACLOCAL_PATH etc.) Other than that, it just feels wrong :) > Do you use Automake's subdir-object option? Yes (subdir-objects ITYM). FWIW, I've since pushed my work to GNU make's master branch on Savannah if you wanted to try it out and see it: git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/make.git
