1 6.4.3 Private Macros
1 --------------------
1 
1 The following macros are private macros you should not call directly.
1 They are called by the other public macros when appropriate.  Do not
1 rely on them, as they might be changed in a future version.  Consider
1 them as implementation details; or better, do not consider them at all:

1 ‘_AM_DEPENDENCIES’
1 ‘AM_SET_DEPDIR’
1 ‘AM_DEP_TRACK’
1 ‘AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS’
1      These macros are used to implement Automake’s automatic dependency
1      tracking scheme.  They are called automatically by Automake when
1      required, and there should be no need to invoke them manually.

1 ‘AM_MAKE_INCLUDE’
1      This macro is used to discover how the user’s ‘make’ handles
1      ‘include’ statements.  This macro is automatically invoked when
1      needed; there should be no need to invoke it manually.
1 
1 ‘AM_PROG_INSTALL_STRIP’
1      This is used to find a version of ‘install’ that can be used to
1      strip a program at installation time.  This macro is automatically
1      included when required.
1 
1 ‘AM_SANITY_CHECK’
1      This checks to make sure that a file created in the build directory
1      is newer than a file in the source directory.  This can fail on
1      systems where the clock is set incorrectly.  This macro is
1      automatically run from ‘AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE’.
