Usually the actual problem with non-GNU make and VPATH is not due to
time stamps, but due to the issues described in
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/VPATH-and-Make.html>
more specifically
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Make-Target-Lookup.html>
(but there is also a section specifically about Tru64 make craziness,
doesn't apply here AFAICS).
Prepending all files generated in the source tree with $(srcdir)/
usually works. One has to note though that it really needs to be done
in every place, ie., als EXTRA_DIST, and bits which might be generated
by automake.
Cheers,
Ralf
