Hi Luca - not that I am an official automake maintainer, but thanks for the report, and sorry for the lack of response. Your fix looks right to me, FWIW. I hope Jim or I or someone will commit it soon. Creating the test case will surely consume the most time. If you can easily make a minimal Makefile.am that exhibits the problem, that would be great. --thanks, karl.
