autoconf: $< in Ordinary Make Rules

1 12.1 `$<' in Ordinary Make Rules
1 ================================
1 
1 Posix says that the `$<' construct in makefiles can be used only in
1 inference rules and in the `.DEFAULT' rule; its meaning in ordinary
1 rules is unspecified.  Solaris `make' for instance replaces it with the
1 empty string.  OpenBSD (3.0 and later) `make' diagnoses these uses and
1 errors out.
