[ng] vala tests: avoid spurious failure with Sun C/C++ compilers
* t/vala-mix2.sh: Here, by forcing the use of the GNU C/C++ compilers.
If we don't, our dependency-tracking code forces 'make' to try to rebuild
spurious binaries or object files when the Sun C compiler is in use, with
reasons like:
'/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/Cstd/./istream.cc' is newer \
than target '/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/Cstd/./istream'
Go figure.
[ng] tests: avoid a spurious failure with ${CC} lacking dep-tracking support
* t/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh: Here: do not expect .Po files to be created in
the .deps directories if the compiler is found not to support generation of
dependency tracking information.
Merge branch 'master' into ng/master (bug#13928 fixed by this)
Part of this merge is actually a no-op, since we had already fixed
Automake-NG so that the 'subdir-object' option (enabled by default)
would work when foo_SOURCES contains $(var).
OTOH, even Automake-NG suffered of the bug where built object files,
as well as dependency-tracking makefile fragments, could be placed
in $(srcdir) when a source file was specified as '$(srdir)/foo.c' or
'$(top_srcdir)/bar.c'. See bug#16375 and bug#15293.

Assume we have package satisfying the following conditions:
(1) automatic dependency tracking is enabled;
(2) the 'subdir-objects' Automake option is enabled;
(3) the package uses a recursive make setup.
Also assume that:
(a) a subdir Makefile declares a foo_SOURCES variable containing
a source file in the parent directory;
(b) that parent Makefile declare a compiled program itself.
Then BSD and Solaris make used to fail when running "make distclean",
because the 'distclean' target of the subdir Makefile removed the
whole '.deps' directory before the parent Makefile was done with the
included '.Po' makefile fragments in that directory. This issue was
revealed by failures in the 'subobj-vpath-pr13928.sh' test when those
make implementations were used.
We fix the issue by ensuring the 'distclean' target of any Makefile
only removed the '.Po' makefile fragments included by it, rather than
the whole '.deps' directory where such files resides.
This change should be the last step in fixing automake bug#13928
for good.
* bin/automake.in (handle_languages), lib/am/depend.am: Adjust
to implement the new 'distclean' logic.
* t/pr224.sh: Adjust to avoid a spurious failure.
* PLANS/subdir-objects.txt: Update.
compile: don't place built object files in $(srcdir), ever ...
... even when a source file is specified as '$(srdir)/foo.c' or
'$(top_srcdir)/bar.c'. And ditto for dependency-tracking makefile
fragments (those under '.deps' directories).
Such issues used to occur when the 'subdir-objects' option was given.
This change should fix the second and last part of automake bug#13928.
See also bug#16375 and bug#15293.
* NEWS: Update.
* bin/automake.in (handle_single_transform): Make sure object files
and dependency-tracking makefile fragments coming from source like
'$(srcdir)/foo.c' and '$(top_srcdir)/bar.c' are placed respectively
under $(builddir) and $(top_builddir).
* t/subobj-vpath-pr13928.sh: Enhance to expose even more aspects
of the bug we've just fixed.
* t/subobj-pr13928-more-langs.sh: New test, similar to the one above,
but with non-C languages as well.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 'subobj-vpath-pr13928.sh',
it's now supposed to pass.
(handwritten_TESTS): Add 'subobj-pr13928-more-langs.sh'.
deps: 'subdir-object' option now works when foo_SOURCES contains $(var)
Following a suggestions of Johan Kristensen, we have config.status use
'make' invocations rather than Makefile-parsing 'sed' hacks to bootstrap
the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. To handle
the inclusion of such files that are still missing when make is first
we basically generate a temporary Makefile without these includes, and
call 'make' on that Makefile.
This fixes the serious bug bug#13928, which was an hard blocker to make the
behavior mandated by the 'subdir-object' active by default (which we want
to do in Automake 2.0).
The issue has also been reported in bug#15919.
* NEWS, THANKS: Update.
* bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Add a trailing "marking" comment
("# am--include-marker") to the generated Makefile lines issuing 'include'
directives for the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments.
Also rename the generated Makefile variable 'am__depfiles_maybe' to the
clearer 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles'.
Minor unrelated refactoring.
* lib/am/configure.am: Adjust to account for the 'am__depfiles_maybe' ->
'am__maybe_remake_depfiles' renaming.
* lib/am/depend.am: Add rules to generate a dummy version of all the
dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments.
* m4/depout.m4: Use make invocations rather than Makefile-parsing sed hacks
to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments.
We still use some sed trickery in order to remove the inclusion of the
still non existing .Po and .Plo files from the Makefile we invoke make
upon; this is done stripping lines that contain the magic string
"# am--include-marker".
* m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Given that now automake generates Makefiles
containing include statements with trailing comment, adjust the checks done
here to make sure $MAKE support that; e.g., "include foo.mk # comment"
rather than just "include foo.mk".
Also refactor and adjust to leave better debugging info in config.log.
* t/postproc.sh: Rename ...
* t/depend-postproc.sh: ... to this, and adjust and enhance.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Adjust.
(XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh', which is now succeeding.
* t/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh: Simplify slightly, now that we expect it to
pass.

texinfo: remove hack about info files in CLEANFILES variables
Automake used to implement an undocumented hack causing '.info' files
that appeared to be cleaned (by e.g. being listed in the CLEANFILES
variable) to also be built in the builddir rather than in the srcdir;
this was for backward compatibility with packages such as Texinfo,
which did things like:
info_TEXINFOS = texinfo.txi info-stnd.texi info.texi
DISTCLEANFILES = texinfo texinfo-* info*.info*
# Do not create info files for distribution.
dist-info:
in order not to distribute .info files.
Now that we have the 'info-in-builddir' option that explicitly causes
generated '.info' files to be placed in the builddir, this hack is no
longer necessary, and we can remove it (after having deprecated it in
the Automake 1.14 release already).

BTW, this issue had been already reported in the past:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-01/msg00049.html
"make distcheck" could sometimes fail to detect missing files in the
distribution tarball, especially in those cases where both the generated
files and their dependencies are explicitly in $(srcdir). An important
example of this are *generated* makefile fragments included at Automake
time in Makefile.am. A basic example:
# -*- Makefile.am -*-
$(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh
cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am
include $(srcdir)/fragment.am
...
If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution
tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded!
The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also
looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued
VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is
part of the original development directory.

include: fix bug in handling of user-defined makefile fragments generation
If a user defined one single Makefile fragment to be included (via Automake
includes) in his main Makefile.am, and gave a rule to generate that file
from other data, Automake used to spuriously complain about with something
like "overrides Automake target '$(srcdir)/foo.am". This change remove that
spurious error (via a simple hack rather than a systematic change, but oh
well).
* lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS%) [?HAVE-MAKEFILE-IN-DEPS?]: Add

It had likely stopped being deterministic due to the new perl behavior

When computing lispdir, don't load emacs site wide init file.
When computing the lispdir emacs was previously invoked with the '-q'
option to avoid loading the users initialisation files, however, the
site wide initialisation file was still loaded, in some cases this can
cause emacs to hang, with the result that a configure can also hang.
The lisp code that aclocal causes to be executed reduces the load-path
list (in emacs) to empty. The load-path is used by emacs to find
packages which it wants to load. Currently, if emacs tries to auto
load a package during shut down, and the package is not found, then
emacs will hang. This does seem like an emacs bug, but protecting
against this in aclocal is simply a case of not loading the site wide
initialisation file.
In this patch then the '-q' option to emacs is replaced with '-Q',
this has the same, the '-Q' option is similar to '-q --no-site-file
--no-splash'.

emacs code used to get lispdir.

Improve detection of GNU make, avoiding "Arg list too long" errors.
Such errors could take place when the main makefile included too many
sub-makefiles, making $(MAKEFILE_LIST) too long and causing the
recipes $(am__is_gnu_make) to exceed the shell's command-line length
limits. This is not a theoretical issue: it could happen for projects
having lots of C/C++ sources and using automatic dependency tracking,
which created an included .Po sub-makefile for each of such sources.

init: ensure $ac_aux_dir is defined before being used
Since we use '$ac_aux_dir' to define '$am_aux_dir', we need
to ensure the former has been initialized before we try to
define the latter, otherwise the definition:
am_aux_dir=`cd $ac_aux_dir && pwd`
will set '$am_aux_dir' to '$HOME', likely causing weird and
unexpected behaviours.
This change fixes automake bug#15981.
* m4/auxdir.m4 (AM_AUX_DIR_EXPAND): AC_REQUIRE expansion
of 'AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULT'. Fix redundant comment and
AC_PREREQ, add extra quoting around '$ac_aux_dir'.
* t/auxdir-pr15981.sh: New test.
* t/auxdir-cc-pr15981.sh: Likewise.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add them.
* THANKS, NEWS: Update.
* bin/automake.in: Fix a harmless typo in comments, that
I happened to notice while writing this patch.
