Hmm, I can't find this helpful, because a) Makefiles are not autoconf's business. b) Over the years, a tremendous amount of effort had been invested into non-gmake VPATH support in automake. If something has crept into automake that makes gmake necessary for VPATH-builds, I'd call this an automake regression. I recommend to reconsider this change.
