Yes, and Automake 1.10's NEWS file contains the missing bit here: | - `-Wportability' has finally been turned on by default for `gnu' and |`gnits' strictness. This means, automake will complain about %-rules |or $(GNU Make functions) unless you switch to `foreign' strictness or |use `-Wno-portability'. Cheers, Ralf
