Funny, we want -s to find bugs!

Anyhow, I am upgrading to newer automake but I get a ton of:
ecn_ss/ecn_ppp_bl/Makefile.am:52: pppd_LDADD must be set with `=' before using 
`+='
ne/ecn_ss/ecn_ppp_bl/Makefile.am:57: relayd_LDADD must be set with `=' before 
using `+='

Is there any way make newer automake accept those?
