Hi Nikolaos - thanks for the submission and the reversion :).  I find
the existing text (and the companion suffix7.sh test) quite confusing,
but it does seem to be written as intended. So, closing.

Regarding the question you sent me separately, about still looking for
maintainers: most definitely. My time available for Automake is quite
limited. The link I put on https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ 
to https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2021-03/msg00018.html
is still valid, despite being four years old.

Thanks,
Karl

Great, my plan is to attempt to add better support for the Guile
programming language to automake, so I will have to study it a decent
amount. Maybe I can offer a hand afterwards.
