I meant: the fix for the getdate bug of having the object listed twice
is to drop the `AC_LIBOBJ([getdate])' from getdate.m4.

The other thing is: I would like automake to be able to warn about this
situation.  It currently does not do this.

My next thought was: automake would only be able to warn about this if
the Makefile.am used $(LIBOBJS) rather than @address@hidden  But from
glancing at automake.in this seems wrong, too.  So please forget about
this argument for now.  Sorry for the noise.

Cheers,
Ralf
