Why do automake stamp targets go through all the trouble of creating a
temporary stamp file before executing config.status and then moving the
stamp file into the correct position?
thirdfile.h: stamp-h3
@if test ! -f $@; then \
rm -f stamp-h3; \
$(MAKE) stamp-h3; \
else :; fi
stamp-h3: $(srcdir)/thirdfile.h.in $(top_builddir)/config.status
@rm -f stamp-h3 stamp-h3T
@echo timestamp > stamp-h3T 2> /dev/null
cd $(top_builddir) \
&& CONFIG_FILES= CONFIG_HEADERS=thirdfile.h \
$(SHELL) ./config.status
@mv stamp-h3T stamp-h3
