Oops, I actually forgot about this one.

OK, but your fix is not sufficient, though: You need to add
| OBJEXT = @OBJEXT@

to both Makefile.in's.

also, you goofed up on the default rule in the second Makefile.in: use
| .c.$(OBJEXT):
|         $(COMPILE) -c $<

instead of
| .c.$(OBJEXT):
|         $(COMPILE) -c $@ $<

Please apply after these changes.

Note that LT_AT_EXEC_CHECK is unfortunately broken, a fix is underway.
I actually made it less strict than it can be and needs to be (and at
the time of writing it I knew it, too, but then forgot to fix it; oh
well, yet another reason for a central bug list/repository).

Cheers,
Ralf
