We could do something like
if test -z "$PPID"; then
exit 77 # Make automake ignore this test
fi
to cater to systems that don't have it.
That would be one option.
But it's not a bashism. This is what SUSv3 says:
Well it's not recognised by the /bin/sh which ships with Solaris9.
One construct which seems to work both on solaris and on GNU/Linux is
"ps -o ppid -p $$ | tail -1" but I don't know what BSD and all the
other OSes might think of that.
