Hi!

« all » correctly depends on (nodist_)bin_SCRIPTS: if some
script is generated/compiled, then « make » makes it.

I have this piece of Python code which is AC_CONFIG_FILES’d,
so it is generated by config.status.  Plain « make » does not
update/create it, I have to add an explicit dependency.

This is not documented, and I think it is not desirable:
« make all » should create/update it, like for other SCRIPTS.

Thanks!

Hi Akim - regarding the report (from years ago, sorry) that make does
not rebuild something in AC_CONFIG_FILES.
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=16527 

Any chance you can send an example? It would not be easy for me to
construct this from scratch. --thanks, karl.
