Description Søren Sandmann Pedersen 2005-08-22 12:28:28 UTC 
After building the server, touch dix/dispatch.c, then run make again. libdix
is correctly rebuilt, but none of the servers are relinked even though one of
their dependencies changed.

There are likely other instances of this problem.

i think this is an instance of the general problem that recursive make just sucks.
Comment 2 Adam Jackson 2005-11-19 14:36:36 UTC 
the automake manual says foo_LDADD is magically transformed into
foo_DEPENDENCIES by removing all the -l and -L options, and then the program
itself has $(foo_DEPENDENCIES) on the right of the : in the make rule.  automake
is, of course, lying:

not critical enough to block 7.0

hacked around this for now by adding a 'relink' target.
