ntp's util/Makefile.am has a line that looked something like:
bin_PROGRAMS = @A@ @B@ @C@
and was almost 80 characters long.
automake-1.7.7 (and 1.7.8, apparently) have a problem in that they wrap the
line (adding a \ continuation).
The problem is that if the conditional programs are not being built are at
the end of the line, I'm getting a blank line after the continuation
character, and some "make" programs hate that.
I also notice that bin_PROGRAMS is appearing twice in the Makefile.in, once
as I specifiy it in the Makefile.am, and again (before the PROGRAMS= line)
in an "optimized" form. If this second line was not emitted I don't think
I'd be seeing this problem.
