(I know from experience that you have to tell make about when you update
targets that make knows about but I can't quote from the manual to
support that de jure. (And I believe that the only way you can safely
update multiple targets from a single rule is if it's a Pattern Rule but
not a Static Pattern Rule.) I was rather hoping I'd provoke a more
authoritative response from one of the real gurus but perhaps the
warnocking should be taken as agreement.)

Thank you for the information. So I think it is Makefile.in from GNU
Automake that need modified for the expected behavior. I'll write to
Automake's mailing list.
