No, I don't see where the automake manual says it requires GNU
make for that. I see it says about that (in INSTALL): "To do
this, you must use a version of `make' that supports the `VPATH'
variable, such as GNU `make'". Besides, in some places, such as
lib/am/check.am, there are constructs to cater to SUN make VPATH
peculiarities.

Ugh. You can never win. FWIW, it seems automake handles
"hand-written" rules for install-glibcppinstallHEADERS and
uninstall-glibcppinstallHEADERS (and documents overriding
generated rules as being supported), so I guess we can patch
this up to work until automake is fixed. I'll test that.
