Only the root directory would use it, since variables defined in Makefile.ams are not inherited between Makefile.ams. However you probably know that variables AC_SUBSTed in configure.ac are defined in all Makefiles. So you could define AM_CFLAGS in all your Makefiles using AC_SUBST([AM_CFLAGS], [value]) in configure.ac. Note that Makefile.am definitions still have priority over configure.ac AC_SUBSTs. Therefore you can use AC_SUBST to give AM_CFLAGS a global default value, and override this definition locally in a Makefile.am if needed. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
