noinst_LTLIBRARIES multiply defined in condition TRUE

[Simon Josefsson]

With recent gnulib, I get this during autoreconf:

gl/Makefile.am:24: noinst_LTLIBRARIES multiply defined in condition TRUE ...
gl/Makefile.am:16: ... `noinst_LTLIBRARIES' previously defined here

The Makefile.am reads:

AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = 1.5 gnits

noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libgnu.la

libgnu_la_SOURCES =
libgnu_la_LIBADD = $(gl_LTLIBOBJS)
libgnu_la_DEPENDENCIES = $(gl_LTLIBOBJS)
EXTRA_libgnu_la_SOURCES =
libgnu_la_LDFLAGS = $(AM_LDFLAGS)
noinst_HEADERS =
noinst_LTLIBRARIES =
EXTRA_DIST =
BUILT_SOURCES =
SUFFIXES =
MOSTLYCLEANFILES = core *.stackdump
MOSTLYCLEANDIRS =
CLEANFILES =
DISTCLEANFILES =
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES =

Which seems clearly wrong.

The culprit seems to be the patch below, which makes gnulib-tool read:

  if grep "^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*_${perhapsLT}LIBRARIES *= *$libname\\.$libext\$" 
allsnippets.tmp > /dev/null; then
    # One of the snippets already specifies an installation location for the
    # library. Don't confuse automake by saying it should not be installed.
    :
  else
    # By default, the generated library should not be installed.
    echo "noinst_${perhapsLT}LIBRARIES $assign $libname.$libext"
  fi
  echo
  echo "${libname}_${libext}_SOURCES ="
  # Here we use $(LIBOBJS), not @address@hidden The value is the same. However,
  # automake during its analyses looks for $(LIBOBJS), not for @address@hidden
  echo "${libname}_${libext}_LIBADD = \$(${macro_prefix}_${perhapsLT}LIBOBJS)"
  echo "${libname}_${libext}_DEPENDENCIES = 
\$(${macro_prefix}_${perhapsLT}LIBOBJS)"
  echo "EXTRA_${libname}_${libext}_SOURCES ="
  if test "$libtool" = true; then
    echo "${libname}_${libext}_LDFLAGS = \$(AM_LDFLAGS)"
  fi
  if test -z "$makefile_name"; then
    echo "noinst_HEADERS ="
    echo "noinst_LTLIBRARIES ="

Thus outputting two noinst_LTLIBRARIES statements.  Bruno, what is the
reason for this change?
