We've had them for ages - I've been using it for 2 years now in progressive increasing sizes.... I keep meaning to get back to my transforming include patch (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/2001-08/msg00112.html) to make authoring them less unpleasant. PR 373 is the bug I was referring to on clean - it's a general race condition. http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2003-07/msg00064.html is a relevant email in this list archives. > I suspect/believe that libtool will have some problems as well. libtool has worked fine for me, with non recursive make for 2 years now. Not to say there are not issues to find :}. Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
