Configuring the build tree really seems the job of ./configure, not make. One way to achieve the same effect is to use AC_CONFIG_LINKS in configure.ac. To preserve the abstraction of foo you could list the AC_CONFIG_LINKS commands in foo/links.m4 and have m4_include([foo/links.m4]) at the appropriate place in configure.ac. Or call a setup script with AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
