+ tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
+ * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
+ Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
+ make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.

+
+ Improve and extend tests `suffix*.test'.
+ * tests/suffix.test: Check that suffix rules for C compilation are
+ only included once. Try also with a static library.
+ * tests/suffix2.test: Add a new grep to help potential debugging.
+ Do not run automake with the `--add-missing' options, since we
+ already create all the needed auxiliary files. Try also *without*
+ the `no-dependencies' automake option.
+ * tests/suffix4.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
+ * tests/suffix3.test: Rewritten to run also autoconf, ./configure
+ and make.
+ * tests/suffix5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/suffix6.test: Fix botched recipe indentation (eight spaces
+ were used instead of a tabulation character). Extend to check
+ that `.obj' is handled like `.$(OBJEXT)' (as is done for `.o').
+ Improved parsing & grepping of generated Makefile.in. Other minor
+ fixes and improvements.
+ * tests/suffix10.test: Move some checks in Makefile.am. Also run
+ "make all".
+ * tests/suffix12.test: Likewise, and account for VPATH issues in
+ weaker make implementations.
+ * tests/suffix11.test: Likewise. Also, run "make distcheck", for
+ completeness, and related changes.
+ * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, do not put `gcc' anymore
+ in $required.
+ * tests/suffix13.test: Do not use the `--force-missing' automake
+ option unnecessarily.
+ * tests/suffix6b.test: New test, semantic sister of `suffix6.test'.
+ * tests/suffix6c.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

+
+ Work around a bug in file-inclusion mechanism of Solaris make.
+ * automake.in (handle_single_transform): In the name of the
+ dependency file: collapse multiple slash characters into a single
+ one.
+ * tests/subobj11a.test: New test.
+ * tests/subobj11b.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/subobj11c.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/depcomp8a.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/depcomp8b.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+ * NEWS: Updated.
+ Report by Stefano Lattarini, quick fix by Ralf Wildenhues, final
