This still fails for me.
Is anyone around who knows how to fix this ?
I did some searching and, amazingly, there is no real solution that
works with old and recent automake versions. It seems that the support
for automake 1.11 to 1.14. Look for the answer of the maintainer to
this same problem:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-09/msg00012.html
From what I read, everything is supposed to work with automake 1.14.
Can someone check that? I am amazed that such a basic functionality is
still broken so long after subdir-objects has been introduced.
If it works, we can adapt the trick used in libcurl:
m4_ifdef([_AM_PROG_CC_C_O],
[
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([subdir-objects])
],[
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
])dnl
This allows to use subdir-objects only with version 1.14, where this
_AM_PROG_CC_C_O got introduced.
Other wise, the patch posted later by Vincent makes sense, but it
should really be marked by a big comment, because it make break
something else later. In libcURL, they have a very nasty-looking
distclean rewriter that modifies the code in place. I do not think we
want to do that :)

So, I will need to revert the subdir-objects option.
Apparently, there will be no problem until automake 2.0 ?
