While I remain neutral on the trolling, I don't think that's a
reasonable assessment. I understood that the very latest GNU version of
make, 3.80, did NOT work (and all previous versions of GNU make as
well). Only a recent debian version worked. automake would indeed not
have led to this problem.
Not that I think the conclusion should be "everyone has to use
automake."
