dvl> See also https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=12260 I understand your concern, but I don't know that we can wait for GCC/autoconf/automake to have new releases with this support before we release 3.81. It's possible there will be such releases, but I don't want to predicate the 3.81 release on it. This is a hard problem, because any change that these tools make to support this new feature will automatically force the resulting output to be GNU make-specific: it will no longer work with any other version of make. I don't know if that's acceptable to them (or maybe that's how it works already?) I did post a question on the auto* mailing lists back in March when you brought this up, discussing the new feature and the implications for these tools, but I received no response from anyone so I don't know what to make of that. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
