Harti, I guess it depends on your definition of a "source" file.
I think of a Makefile in terms of "target" and "dependency" files. Automake makes it easy to build a package in the source tree (in which case the "source" file is in the same directory as the object files) or in a separate build/object tree. Under gmake the behavior is consistent. Under (at least FreeBSD's) (p)make, the behavior is not consistent. The example I face is no different that a system that uses lex and yacc (in the case where the distribution provides generated .c and .h files). Does a POSIX spec cover this case? Thanks...
