Re: automake -vs- BSD make

[Lars Hecking]

 [Sorry, should've posted this to the list sooner. The system is OpenBSD 2.8
  m68k (amiga). If necessary, I can try the same on i386.
  This was automake-1.4c, but 1.4e has the same problems.]

 Sure. But I must say that I find the output rather inconclusive :-/

 In the first case, the file foo.c is indeed in the generated archive,
 and I just can't see what exactly fails.
 In the second case, both foo and bar executables exist in testSubDir/obj,
 and only there.
