Do so by using our custom 'is' auxiliary script rather than grepping
the output from make. This is more natural, more robust, and often
shorter to write.
Unfortunately, we can't do that in all cases: sometimes we really need
to match the content of a variable against a regular expressions, and
we can't know nor are interested in its exact value.
This is basically a follow-up on commit v1.11-1830-g96401cb of

lang, suffix rules: don't require C stuff needlessly
This change fixes automake bug#14560: when two or more user-defined suffix
rules were present in a single Makefile.am, automake would needlessly
include definition of some make variables related to C compilation in the
generated Makefile.in.
* automake.in (handle_languages): Fix logic to decide whether or not to
include definitions of C compilation related variables in the generated
Makefile.in: instead of doing so when two or more user-defined suffix
rules are seen (which is a completely bogus criterion), do so when two
or more compiled languages are used.
* lib/Automake/Rule.pm (suffix_rules_count): Remove as no longer used.
(@EXPORT): Adjust.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): No longer list the test script
'suffix-extra-c-stuff-pr14560.sh', which now passes.
* NEWS: Update.
Automake needlessly generates definition of make variables related
to C compilation when two or more user-defined suffix rules are
present in a single Makefile.am.
* t/suffix-extra-c-stuff-pr14560.sh: New test, exposing the bug.
This test is still xfailing.
* t/no-extra-c-stuff.sh: New test, check for a potential related
regression. This regression is not actually present here (so this
test passes), but it still took place in our first attempt at
fixing bug#14560 -- so this test has proven to be actually useful.
* t/no-extra-makefile-code.sh: Improve comments, and tighten the
grepping checks a little.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add the new tests.
(XFAIL_TESTS): Add the new xfailing test.

Fixes automake bug#14517.
* t/tags-pr12372.sh: If the 'etags' program in use supports the
'--langmap' option, use it. That is required to avoid spurious
failures with Exuberant Ctags (at least version 5.8), which by
default do not generate any tags for file extensions it doesn't
recognize.
* THANKS: Give credit to that bug's original reporter.
* t/remake-configure-dependencies.sh: Add few missing '$sleep'
invocations. I thought that the sleeps implicit in the configure
invocation were enough, but they were not, actually. Here is what
can happen:
1. The config.status script is generated by a configure run.
2. ./config.status and make are run.
3. The 'print-version' script is modified.
4. Since that script is listed in $(CONFIGURE_DEPENDENCIES),
autoconf is re-run.
5. On a fast-enough machine, the three steps 2-4 above, even
combined, might have taken less than a second to run;
6. If the filesystem doesn't have a sub-second timestamp
resolution, that means the newly-generated configure has
the same timestamp of the old config.status;
7. So, config.status is not re-run, and the Makefiles are
not updated.
8. Spurious failure!

automake: assume we can always pass '-o' to the C compiler
It is assumed that we can pass -c -o to the C compiler, so remove
some special casing and always do that.
This change is similar in spirit to v1.13.1d-217-g7299c4d "depend: assume
we can always pass '-o' to the C compiler"
This change also happen to fix a testsuite failure
(t/silent-many-languages.sh) when mixing MSVC and GNU fortran, which
have different default object file extensions (.obj vs. .o). This
difference in object file extension is not handled well and caused
Automake to look for MSVC objects with .o extension. Always using -o
makes MSVC create .o object files and linking succeeds. Not that
anybody recommends mixing toolchains or anything.
* bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Remove conditional modification
of 'output_flag' entry for 'c'.
(register_language ('name' => 'c')): Add 'output_flag' entry set to '-o'.

depcomp: avoid trailing backslash in depfile for depmode=msvc7
When compiling a file without any dependencies (no #includes), the
msvc7 depmode (and consequently msvc7msys) generates a depfile
Makefile fragment with the last line ending with a backslash. This
is less robust than needed.
Fixes automake bug#14501.
* lib/depcomp (msvc7): Finish off the depfile Makefile fragment with
an empty line.
