This stems from a discussion on bug-automake:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2010-04/msg00008.html>
Apparently, when yacc `*.y' and/or lex `*.l' files are used in a
foo_SOURCES primary, the generated Makefile.in does not prevent
Heirloom make from using its builtin ".l => .o" and/or ".y => .o" rules
instead of the automake-generated ".l => .c => .o" and/or
".y => .c => .o" rules' chains. This, among other things, might cause
the created *.o files to be compiled with wrong flags, and the created
*.c files to be generated with the wrong lex/yacc flags.
The attached patch introduces a couple of tests checking for the just
described bug. Hopefully, a patch fixing this bug will follow soon.
Regards,
Stefano
