I have a non-recursive make working successfully using Automake 1.7.9 and the 'subdir-objects' option. Before the 'subdir-objects' option was supplied, it appeared that objects and dependency files were written to the current directory using their normal base file names (with directory part stripped). After the 'subdir-objects' option is supplied, the objects and dependency files are placed in the same directory as the source files, but the object/depenendency file names are modified so that they are prefixed with the Automake target name. For example "foo/bar/splat/file.c" results in "foo/bar/splat/foo_bar_none_file.o"
Is this the expected behaviour, or is the sense of the 'subdir-objects' logic reversed? It makes more sense that if 'subdir-objects' is not supplied that intermediate files use the protective name prefixing whereas if 'subdir-objects' is supplied, the name prefixing is unneeded and undesireable.
