+ deps: partially revert commit `v1.11-512-geeee551'
+ This change partly reverts commit "Create subdirs for generated
+ sources even when not dep tracking", of 2011-04-02.
+ That commit had caused the bugs #8485 and #8526. Since we are
+ nearing the bug-fixing automake release 1.11.2, the safest policy
+ at the moment is to just revert the problematic hunks: an older,
+ known bug is better than a regression.
+ * automake.in (handle_single_transform): Don't add a dirstamp
+ dependency, even when $object is derived and lands in a subdir.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add lex-subobj-nodep.test,
+ remove yacc-dist-nobuild-subdir.test.

+
+ tests: fix spurious failures due to missing 'yywrap()' function
+
+ The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find
+ the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function
+ which is required to link most lex-generated programs). On the
+ contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl')
+ fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply
+ proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to
+ possibly fail later, at make time.
+
+ This behaviour is intended; the Autoconf manual reads:
+ ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is
+ both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source it
+ produces is portable. In order to ensure portability, however,
+ you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if you don't use
+ it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like feature), simply
+ include a `%noyywrap' statement in the scanner's source.''
+
+ This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of
+ the Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library
+ providing `yywrap' (this happens for example on Fedora-based
+ systems). The proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back
+ implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers.
+
+ See also partially-overlapping commit `v1.11-871-geb147a1' (from
+ the 'testsuite-work' branch), which was motivated by similar
+ spurious failures experienced when cross-compiling.
+
+ Reported by Jim Meyering:
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-10/msg00092.html>
