- - The same user-defined suffix being transformed into different
- Automake-known suffixes in different Makefiles could confuse automake
- and make it 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 put 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.
