If you expand AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE more than once with options, automake
currently barfs on the resulting m4 traces with a less-than-helpful
assertion failure ("global options already processed"). This also
prompts users to report bugs against Automake, when the actual
problem is with their autoconf

If subdir-objects is made the default Automake behaviour, packages
will need to add AM_PROG_CC_C_O to their configure.ac. Instead of
that, let's just make the functionality provided by AM_PROG_CC_C_O
mandatory for C projects, and have Automake automatically call it
as required.
This change
are required.
These patches no longer apply to master, but here they are anyway.
Nick Bowler (2):
Use AC_DEFUN_ONCE to define AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
Automatically call AM_PROG_CC_C_O as required.

If AM_PROG_CC_C_O is expanded multiple times, and the compiler does not
support -c and -o together, each expansion of the macro will prepend
the compile script to CC. This can result in the compile script
invoking the compile script, which at best pointless and silly.
Fortunately, there does not
