+
+ silent-rules: fallback for makes without nested vars
+
+ This fixes two problems reported for Automake (Bug#9928, Bug#10237)
+ and is in response to a bug report for building coreutils on HP
+ NonStop OS (Bug#10234). The problem is that HP NonStop 'make'
+ treats a line like "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_$(V))" as one that
+ expands a macro with the funny name am__v_CC_$(V instead of the
+ desired name am__v_CC_1 or am__v_CC_0, and since the funny macro
+ is not defined the line is equivalent to "AM_V_CC = )"; this
+ inserts a stray ")" when $(AM_V_CC) is used, which eventually
+ causes 'make' to fail.
+
+ The basic idea is that instead of generating Makefile.in lines like
+ "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_$(V))", we generate
+ "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_@AM_V@)". We then AC_SUBST $(V) for @AM_V@
+ in the usual case where `make' supports nested variables,
+ and substitute 1 (or 0) otherwise. Similarly for usages like
+ $(am__v_CC_$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)).
+
+ With this change, make implementations that doesn't grasp nested
+ variable expansions will still be able to run Makefiles generated
+ using the silent-rules option. They won't allow the user to
+ override the make verbosity at runtime through redefinition of
+ $(V) (as in "make V=0"); but this is still an improvement over not
+ being able to work at all.
+
+ * NEWS: Document this.
+ * automake.in (define_verbose_var): When defining the variables,
+ use @AM_V@ rather than $(V), and use @AM_DEFAULT_V@ rather than
+ $(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY).
+ * doc/automake.texi (Automake silent-rules Option): Explain new system.
+ * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): Check whether `make' supports
+ nested variables, and substitute AM_V and AM_DEFAULT_V accordingly.
+ * tests/silent-nested-vars.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+

not used, `make' output no longer contains spurious backslash-only
lines, thus once again matching what Automake did before 1.11.
+ - The `silent-rules' option now generates working makefiles even for
+ the uncommon `make' implementations that do not support the
+ nested-variables extension to POSIX 2008. For such `make'
+ implementations, whether a build is silent is determined at

- The AM_COND_IF macro also works if the shell expression for the conditional
is no longer valid for the condition.
