So how about this workaround?
Looks ok to me provided you've tested it, though I'd really rather GNUmakefile=GNUmakefile ... AC_CONFIG_LINKS([$GNUmakefile:$GNUmakefile]) > (Should we also have a distclean-local rule in Makefile.am that removes > the GNUmakefile symlink in VPATH builds, but is a no-op in in-place builds?) That's exactly the way I want to fix it in Automake.
