Automake (1.4) variables beginning with numbers don't work when used explicitly, but work implicitly A minimal Makefile.am such as this #start bin_PROGRAMS = 32twiddle #end generates a Makefile.in with 32twiddle_SOURCES = 32twiddle.c automatically set, but... #start bin_PROGRAMS = 32twiddle 32twiddle_SOURCES = 32twiddle.c #end will barf with "bad macro name `32twiddle_SOURCES'" obvious quick fix for me is, "not to do that then", but is it a bug or just something that should be in the documentation, or should there be an extra translation rule that programs beginning with numbers have their associated automake rule names prepended with _ C.
