[tex-live] automake issues with $(AM_V_P)

[Mirko Vogt]

Problem solved I guess - I dug a bit into automake:

AM_V_P = $(am__v_P_$(V))
am__v_P_ = $(am__v_P_$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY))
am__v_P_0 = false
am__v_P_1 = :

That means, that automake expects to be $V either 1 or 0.

Within OpenWrt you can use $(V) to enable debugging in different modes
(V=s, V=c, etc.)
That way AM_V_P results into being undefined.

That  being said and solved - how the fuck automake think they can claim
such a generic variable exclusively and just fail once it's not set to
what they expect it to be set?

$(V) shouldn't be claimed to be exclusively used by automake.
Expanding AM_V_P to true if V is set to whatever or false if it's not
set or set to 0 would make much more sense..

Grrr..

Anyway - thanks!
