Just that, iff you decide to go for the latter, pretty please don't use a generic name like $(selftests) but a name that makes it clear this is a gnulib variable, for example `gl_selftests'. Otherwise the stacking- software-made-hard department will want gnulib to _not_ use selftests = .. but selftests += .. and require the gnulib user to initialize this variable. Not nice. Thank you, Ralf
