Really? I'm sure I was using $< in the late 80s or early 90s.
What tool doesn't support it?
Freebsd's make apparently expands it to nothing for the txt2c rule. See
<20150805061645.GA15891@c720-r276659> in mutt-users. I was able to
replicate the problem.
The autoconf manual also mentions it's non-portable in the "Portable
Make Programming" section.
In any case, this fix was easy enough - let automake deal with it. :-)
Fair enough. Thanks,
