Before this change, using the `--acdir' option caused aclocal to
redefine both the directory of automake-provided m4 macros and the
directory of third-party system-wide m4 macros. With this change,
we deprecate the `--acdir' aclocal option, and introduce two new
options `--automake-acdir' and `--system-acdir', to allow for more
granularity.
* aclocal.in (@automake_includes, @system_includes,
@user_includes): Fix and extend comments.
(usage): Update.
(handle_acdir_option): New function.
(parse_arguments): Recognize new options `--system-acdir' and
`automake-acdir', and handle `--acdir' using the new function
above. Simplify logic by assuming that the directory of
third-party system-wide m4 files always exists.
* tests/aclocal.in: Update to use the new options, instead of
the deprecated. `--acdir'.

ensure that the $(system_acdir) directory will be created by
"make install".

automake: fix regression due to de-ansification support removal
The last change `v1.11-947-g136b489' removed code that automake
was using to decide whether binary objects were built by the
generated Makefile.in, so that it could avoid to emit unneeded
code when this was not the case. Re-introduce such code in a
less-obfuscated form, and add a test to ensure we don't regress
again.
* automake.in ($must_handle_compiled_objects): New global
variable, telling whether the generated Makefile has to build
compiled objects.
(initialize_per_input): Reset it.
(handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Set
it to a true value when required.
(handle_compile): Don't generate any code if the variable
`$must_handle_compiled_objects' is not set to a true value.

java: avoid compilation errors when CLASSPATH is empty
* lib/am/java.am (CLASSPATH_ENV): When redefining `$CLASSPATH',
do not append an empty component in case the previous value of
CLASSPATH is empty or unset.
* tests/java-empty-classpath.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
parallel-tests: no more spurious successes for FreeBSD make
Work around a bug of FreeBSD make bug that was causing the
automake-generated "check" target to complete with success
even if some tests failed; this happened only when FreeBSD
make was run in concurrent mode (as in, e.g., "make -j2
check"). The bug is not present in NetBSD make.
This change fixes automake bug#9245:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9245>
See also FreeBSD PR bin/159730:
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=159730>
* lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Use a
more "safe" (and apparently redundant) idiom to exit with error,
so that the non-zero exit status is picked up also by FreeBSD
make when it's running in concurrent mode.
* NEWS: Update.
* tests/check-concurrency-bug9245.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
coverage: possible infinite recursion in the test harness
Motivated by a regression in the 'test-protocols' branch.
* tests/parallel-tests-fork-bomb.test: New test, checking that
if $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) is in $(TEST_LOGS), we obtain a diagnosed
error rather than a make hang or a fork bomb.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
tests: fix various blunders in 'suffix-chain.test'
* tests/suffix-chain.test: Fix various blunders that were causing
this test to fail spuriously: append to `configure.in', not to
`configure.ac'; add a `;' character after the `return' statement
in an input file; use tabs, not spaces, to indent Makefile recipes;
and use more uncommon suffixes that don't trigger built-in recipes
with FreeBSD make.
tests: don't let a known Solaris make bug poison too many tests
See automake bug#7670 and bug#7824.
* tests/defs (make_can_chain_suffix_rules): New function, tell
whether the make implementation in use can chain suffix rules
automatically or not.
* tests/suffix3.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
are unportable to make implementations that are not smart enough
to chain suffix rules automatically.
* tests/suffix8.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
* tests/suffix10.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
* tests/suffix11.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
* tests/suffix-chain.test: New test, exposes the limitation that
we have papered over in the tests above.
* .gitignore: Anchor files that are intended to be ignored only
if found in the same directory of the `.gitignore' file, not also
in its subdirectories.
* doc/.gitignore, doc/amhello/.gitignore, lib/Automake/.gitignore,
lib/Automake/tests/.gitignore, tests/.gitignore: Likewise. Also,
where needed, add new entries that were once implied by the
non-anchored entries in the upper-level `.gitignore' files.
testsuite: avoid spurious failure of self checks on Solaris
This is just a quick workaround to prevent having too much noise
in the testsuite; more proper fixes have been committed into the
'testsuite-work' branch.
* tests/self-check-dir.test: Relax a test to avoid unimportant
failure on Solaris 10.
* tests/self-check-exit.test: Likewise.
* tests/distcheck-configure-flags-am.test: Avoid using `+=' too
liberally with AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, since the line breaks
so introduced, in conjunction with single quotes, might confuse
Solaris make.
maintcheck: fix maintainer-check failures, both real and spurious
* tests/amhello-binpkg.test: Use "$MAKE", not bare "make".
* Makefile.am (sc_perl_local): Also allow perl special variable
`$~' to be localized. And be slightly laxer in the regexp, to
allow for usages like "local $_ = $foo;".
(sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline): Also allow for command
line overriding of the `DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS' make variable. Try
to avoid false positives for usages like "$MAKE || st=$?".
tests: relax a test on amhello examples to cater to Solaris tar
* tests/amhello-binpkg.test: When the tar implementation in use
is not GNU tar, relax the tests on tar output, to avoid spurious
failures. For example, "tar cvf ..." with GNU tar can output
lines like "./usr/bin/hello" on the standard output, while with
Solaris tar it can output lines like "a ./usr/bin/hello 8K" on
standard output, and with Heirloom tar it can output lines like
"a ./usr/bin/hello 15 tape blocks" on standard error.
test defs: function 'is_newest' now works also with directories
* tests/defs (is_newest): Call `find' with the `-prune' option,
so that it won't descend in the directories (which could cause
spurious results).
* tests/self-check-is_newest: Extend accordingly.
