The --disable-dependency-tracking option turns off the mechanism that updates .deps/*.Po files which contain dependencies for compiled sources like C and C++. This has nothing to do with rebuild rules. You can add AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to your package, see the manual for details. Or you can try to build your package and create the tarball on the most timestamp-challenged file system that you have. I don't know of a nice way to emulate that, though. BTW, why '=make' instead of 'make'? Cheers, Ralf
