        * Version 4.5.11.
 
+       * Makefile.maint (prev_version_file): Don't use ?= for this particular
+       assignment, since it causes trouble with old versions of GNU make
+       (e.g. 3.76.1).  The other uses of `?=' are inoffensive.  Details here.

+       Patch from Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
+
        * Use patched automake-1.7.3.  Regenerate Makefile.in files in
        subdirectories so that each includes a definition of ACLOCAL_M4.
