The non-recursive build means that there is only one Makefile.am, so make(1) is able to optimize compilation and SMP machines. See the old discussion with Flameeyel for more details. Your attempt could be a first step to make the build system more effective and maintainable. The second step (real non-recursive build) is more invasive. Notes: - we have SUID_{LDFLAGS,CFLAGS} so it would be better to have separate libcommon.la for suid utils - please define on $top_builddir based $($ul_libcommon_la) rather than use everywhere ../lib/libcommon.la > > work meaning changes here and there.
