+ yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
+ Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
+ files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
+ them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
+ simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
+ This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
+ those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES

+ script's stderr, not to script's stdout.
+ * tests/gnits3.test: Likewise. Also, prefer 'cat' over 'echo'
+ to append to Makefile.am, and really check that the exit status
+ of "make installcheck" indicates failure.

+
+ Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
+ * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
+ Sync from upstream.
+
+ Avoid caching bug in cygnus mode test.
+ * tests/cygnus-requires-maintainer-mode.test: Remove
+ autom4te.cache directory before rerunning aclocal, to
+ remove trace caches.
+
+ Fix maintainer-check regression.
+ * tests/subobj11a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS in the
+ environment.
+
+ Bump copyright years.
+ * aclocal.in (write_aclocal, version): Bump copyright years.

+
+ Improve and extend tests `suffix*.test'.
+ * tests/suffix.test: Check that suffix rules for C compilation are
+ only included once. Try also with a static library.
+ * tests/suffix2.test: Add a new grep to help potential debugging.
+ Do not run automake with the `--add-missing' options, since we
+ already create all the needed auxiliary files. Try also *without*
+ the `no-dependencies' automake option.
+ * tests/suffix4.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
+ * tests/suffix3.test: Rewritten to run also autoconf, ./configure
+ and make.
+ * tests/suffix5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/suffix6.test: Fix botched recipe indentation (eight spaces
+ were used instead of a tabulation character). Extend to check
+ that `.obj' is handled like `.$(OBJEXT)' (as is done for `.o').
+ Improved parsing & grepping of generated Makefile.in. Other minor
+ fixes and improvements.
+ * tests/suffix10.test: Move some checks in Makefile.am. Also run
+ "make all".
+ * tests/suffix12.test: Likewise, and account for VPATH issues in
+ weaker make implementations.
+ * tests/suffix11.test: Likewise. Also, run "make distcheck", for
+ completeness, and related changes.
+ * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, do not put `gcc' anymore
+ in $required.
+ * tests/suffix13.test: Do not use the `--force-missing' automake
+ option unnecessarily.
+ * tests/suffix6b.test: New test, semantic sister of `suffix6.test'.
+ * tests/suffix6c.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

+
+ Work around a bug in file-inclusion mechanism of Solaris make.
+ * automake.in (handle_single_transform): In the name of the
+ dependency file: collapse multiple slash characters into a single
+ one.
+ * tests/subobj11a.test: New test.
+ * tests/subobj11b.test: Likewise.

+
+ Fix two spurious testsuite failures on IRIX 6.5.
+ * tests/suffix13.test (Makefile.am): Account for VPATH issues on
+ weaker make implementations (e.g. IRIX 6.5).
+ * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise, plus a required related
+ change.
+ Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. The bugs have been there from the
+ first versions of the affected test scripts.

+
+ docs: cygnus mode doesn't require AM_CYGWIN32 macro.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Cygnus): Mode 'cygnus' does not require
+ the AM_CYGWIN32 macro (and indeed hasn't required it since at
+ least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
+ Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
+
+2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
