Lack of AM_PROG_CXX_C_O

[Julio M. Merino Vidal]

Hello,

[ Please CC me any replies as I'm not subscribed to this list. ]

I'm working on a C++ project in which I'm currently using Autoconf  
2.61 and Automake 1.10.  I have a single top-level Makefile.am and  
have enabled the subdir-objects option.  According to the manual  
page, I also need to add the AM_PROG_CC_C_O macro to my configure  
script for this option to work correctly in all situations.

I see that Autoconf 2.61 has added the macros AC_PROG_{CXX,FC,F77} 
_C_O.  Does Automake need to mimic these, replacing them with their  
AM_* counterparts?

In fact I have started working on a patch to add these macros, but  
before finishing it I want to be sure that it is the way to go.

Thank you,
