The real causes, however, are that GNU Make has some interesting and

... and them not using autotools, right? Or would that also happen with
plain autotools?
Maybe? :) I've never really learned Autotools properly, but as I
understand it, they don't officially recommend you use wildcards at
all [0] so the value of myoutput_SOURCES is often hardcoded in simple
projects which are based on copy-pasting from the Autotools tutorial. :)
That makes sense.
Is that what you are suggesting? Or would there be a more "elegant" fix
that upstream could take?
Yes, I'm suggesting you propose this patch upstream. :)
That is now https://github.com/markfasheh/duperemove/issues/390
Thanks for helping.
Greetings
Marc
