Ouch - rawhide is currently still stuck on 1.13.4 [so much for the perception of rawhide being bleeding-edge]; I'll have to manually install from automake.git to play with subdir-objects (it may be easiest to just unconditionally turn it on, after testing that RHEL 5's 1.9 can handle it), as a followup patch. >> -# Use the silent-rules feature when possible. >> -m4_ifndef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [m4_define([AM_SILENT_RULES],[])]) >> -AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]) >> +# Default to using the silent-rules feature when possible.

Newer automake has been taught to use more-reliable m4 tracing instead of raw grep - but newer automake is the one that doesn't issue the warning. Yeah, I was rather shocked that this worked to shut up the warning on RHEL 5 :) > > ACK, Thanks; pushed. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
