Hello automakers.
I've recently noticed that some *.m4 files in the Automake distribution
lack a serial number:
$ cd ~/src/automake
$ grep -L '# *serial' m4/*.m4
m4/amversion.m4
m4/auxdir.m4
m4/gcj.m4
m4/install-sh.m4
m4/mkdirp.m4
m4/python.m4
m4/runlog.m4
m4/strip.m4
m4/upc
Apparently, in projects using Automake yacc support with the 'subdir-objects'
option enabled, "make distcheck" fails, because in a VPATH build make (even
GNU make) seems unable to find the distributed yacc-generated C files. This
failure happens only with the developement version of automake, whil
