+
+ tests: various minor tweakings, mostly related to AM_PROG_AR
+ * tests/alloca2.test: Ensure we don't experience a spurious failure
+ due to a missing `AM_PROG_AR' macro or a missing `ar-lib' auxiliary
+ script.
+ * tests/libtool4.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/ldadd.test: Likewise. Since we are at it, make grepping of
+ automake stderr stricter.
+ * tests/reqd2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/pr211.test: Ensure automake fails also with `-Wnone', since
+ the error we are testing for is an hard error, not a mere warning.
+ * tests/syntax.test: Likewise, and ensure we don't fail to other
+ errors by removing use of `lib_LTLIBRARIES' in Makefile.am. Since
+ we are at it, make grepping of automake stderr stricter.
