8 It is probably widely unknown that --disable-dependency-tracking
9 has an unexpected side effect: It makes the "silent rules" feature
10 of automake-1.11 useless (more and more projects are beginning to
11 use this feature).
12 One may consider this as a bug of automake-1.11, but this is
13 how it is now, and I do not know whether there are plans to
14 change it in future versions of automake.
