Package: automake
Version: 1:1.11.1-1
Severity: normal

(also impacts automake-1.9)

A rule-variable of the following form:

> foo: VAR=whatever

... is mistaken by automake by a custom production rule for "foo", and
it does not generate a production rule itself.

I could work around this behaviour with something like:

> EMPTY=
> foo$(EMPTY): VAR=whatever

Note: I needed that for a crossbuild, where some libraries have to be
built both for host and target.  libnativefoo.a needs different
LDFLAGS and RANLIB definitions which automake does not apparently
allows to change.
