It causes an actual problem in that I have to force everyone to switch
to automake 1.16.1, which is not packaged on any major GNU/Linux
distributions currently so people have to build it by hand and start
using that, which is not so trivial (you also have to remember to set
ACLOCAL_PATH etc.)

Other than that, it just feels wrong :)

Yes (subdir-objects ITYM).


FWIW, I've since pushed my work to GNU make's master branch on Savannah
if you wanted to try it out and see it:

  git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/make.git
