No idea.  I can only guess that it's omission or due to -Wcross.

Hmm.  Would it make sense to even have 'automake -Wcross'?
If not, then adding it would be a false promise to users.

Hmm.  Either the file should also have the header warning:

###############################################################
# The main copy of this file is in Automake's CVS repository. #
# Updates should be sent to address@hidden         #
###############################################################

(in both Autoconf and Automake, of course), or we could just sync it now
for all except the -Wcross stuff (exclusive-or).  What do you think?

Thanks,
Ralf
