So you're running a newer version of automake then we've dealt with before.
That being said ...
automake-1.12: warnings are treated as errors
Now THIS, I don't understand. This shouldn't be the default, as I read it.
Do you have a WARNINGS environment variable?
Ah, I see. We have -Werror in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. So I'm thinking we should
take that out, maybe?
/usr/local/share/automake-1.12/am/library.am: warning: 'mts/libmts.a': linking
libraries using a non-POSIX
/usr/local/share/automake-1.12/am/library.am: archiver requires 'AM_PROG_AR'
in 'configure.ac'
This should be fine to ignore; as I read the documentation it's only really
necessary on systems with "unusual" archivers (like Windows).
Makefile.am:591: warning: user target 'cscope' defined here ...
/usr/local/share/automake-1.12/am/tags.am: ... overrides Automake target
'cscope' defined here
Also okay, since the user-defined targets override Automake-provided ones.
So this stuff is new for Automake 1.12. We have two choices: remove the
-Werror, or move us forward and require Automake 1.12. Thoughts? I'm
leaning to removing -Werror.
