I'm checking in your test.  Thanks.

In the past we handled this correctly because automake would try to
define the `meal' target, but would then notice that there was already
one in Makefile.am, so it would not define its own.

But that changed because we now always use $(EXEEXT), so the names
don't appear to be the same.

I think the best fix is to go back to conditionally using $(EXEEXT).
We can do that more easily now because of Akim's rewrite of how *.am
files are handled.
