In the latter case, you have been reading the wrong manual... (the first page if the manual should mention the version it documents). *_CXXFLAGS variables were introduced in 1.5, and they work as you expect, by renaming the object files. [...] sbd> Obviously simplicity and generality are goals. Upgrading seems the best way out. Whatever it takes, it will have to be done anyway. There have been lots of bug fixes and new features since 1.4. If you are going to send us a mail each time you trip over a bug which has been fixed for years, or a feature which is not available in 1.4, it is a problem. If you clutter your Makefile.ams with workarounds of all sorts, it is also a problem. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
