Are you using Automake 1.10? Quoting from its NEWS file: | - $(EXEEXT) is automatically appended to filenames of TESTS | that have been declared as programs in the same Makefile. | This is mostly useful when some check_PROGRAMS are listed in TESTS. Note that CVS (both HEAD and branch-1-10) has a bugfix to do the same with XFAIL_TESTS, so that XFAILing is detected reliably. Other than that, you may not have known about check_PROGRAMS? If there are still issues, please show an example where things go wrong, including on which system you are experiencing this (esp. if you are using a cross setup with a simulator, say). Thanks, Ralf
