Comment (by jpflori):
The non-failure of the smattest and co might just be luck.
Now the Makefile producedfirst includes an all target line with as
dependencies all the binaries (so with the EXEEXT extension).
And at the end of the Makefile, the all dependencies from your Makefile.am
file is also included, so it points through the procs_tests target to the
binaries without the EXEEXT extension.
What happens I guess is that make first generates the file with a .exe
extension, and when it want to generate the files without .exe, the
automagic translation made by Cygwin makes it think that
smattest=smattest.exe is already uptodate.
Not sure why this did not happen before.
Maybe was the noinst_PROGRAMS line in Makefile.am added recently?
Whatsoever, I'm not convinced that relying on this behavior from Cygwin is
a good idea.
