+ - If the same user-defined suffixes were transformed into different
+ Automake-known suffixes in different Makefile.am files in the same
+ project, automake could get confused and generate inconsistent
+ Makefiles (automake bug#14441).
+ For example, if 'Makefile.am' contained a ".ext.cc:" suffix rule,
+ and 'sub/Makefile.am' contained a ".ext.c:" suffix rule, automake
+ would have mistakenly placed into 'Makefile.in' rules to compile
+ "*.c" files into object files, and into 'sub/Makefile.in' rules to
+ compile "*.cc" files into object files --- rather than the other
+ way around. This is now fixed.
