BTW, Automake still does not take full advantage of the current config.status. It could perfectly well have foo/Makefile have a trampoline to top_builddir/Makefile which would recreate all the obsolete Makefile (and config.h etc.) at once: ~/src/ace % ./config.status bin/Makefile tests/Makefile tests/autoconf config.status: creating bin/Makefile config.status: creating tests/Makefile config.status: creating tests/autoconf
