automake: make the ARFLAGS default 'cr' instead of 'cru'.
In some GNU/Linux distributions people started to compile 'ar'
binary with --enable-deterministic-archives (binutils project).
That, however, in combination with our previous long time working
default AR_FLAGS=cru causes warnings on such installations:
ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
The 'u' option (at least with GNU binutils) did small optimization
during repeated builds because it instructed 'ar' to not
open/close unchanged *.o files and to rather read their contents
from old archive file. However, its removal should not cause a
big performance hit for usual workflows.
Distributions started using --enable-deterministic-archives
knowing that it would disable the 'u', just to rather have a bit
more deterministic builds.
Also, to justify this change a bit more, keeping 'u' in ARFLAGS
could only result in many per-project changes to override
Automake's ARFLAGS default, just to silence such warnings.
Fixes bug#20082. Reported by Eric Blake.
* bin/automake.in (handle_libraries): Use 'ARFLAGS=cr' by default.
* doc/automake.texi (Building a library): Mention the changed
ARFLAGS default.
(@c LocalWords): Replace 'cru' with 'cr'.
* m4/ar-lib.m4 (AM_PROG_AR): Cut out 'cru' string into separate
ARFLAGS variable with new default 'cr'.

tests: don't try to prevent flex from including unistd.h.
This patch is from https://bugs.gnu.org/59994.
* t/cond35.sh: This patch is related to an effort to prepare
Automake for future GCC/Clang versions which set c99 as default
standard to be used.
In the current version of flex, not having unistd.h leads to
implicit function declarations that are not compatible with C99.
A future version of flex will (hopefully) make the "NO_UNISTD"
flag a no-op, and include unistd.h by default.
Also, while flex-dedicated tests had this macro set,
yacc tests did not, despite their use of flex.
For consistency, all the yacc/flex related tests now have the
"--never-interactive" option set in AM_LFLAGS, and do not try
define an isatty function.

tests: depcomp: ensure make_ok() fails when run_make fails
While running automake tests with -std-gnu=c99, the compiler report
errors which lead to make to fail. Yet, these failures are ignored

check for one specific pattern.
If make fails, investigation should be made to discover why, whatever
the reason for the failure is.

tests: rework gettext to only check 'external' behavior
The gettext project deprecated non-external use back in 2010 with the
0.18 release, and made it fatal with the 0.20 release in 2019. With
that version, calling AM_GNU_GETTEXT() fails, which means all Automake
tests are now skipped. The t/gettext-macros.sh helper probes gettext
as such:
>+ autopoint --force
> autopoint: *** AM_GNU_GETTEXT without 'external' argument is no longer supported in version 0.21.1
> autopoint: *** Stop.
> ...
>+ aclocal-1.16 -Werror -Wno-syntax -I m4 --install
> aclocal-1.16: warnings are treated as errors
> configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library
> configure.ac:5: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION' not found in library
>+ echo skip_all_ "couldn't find or get gettext macros"
Since t/gettext-macros.sh generates a helper that all other gettext
tests use to see if gettext is available, all they get skipped.
Rework our existing tests to only check the 'external' gettext mode.
This should work with older versions, and we don't really need to
keep track of old non-external mode since it's been deprecated for
so long.
* t/gettext-basics.sh: Use external gettext mode, and adjust tests.

dirstamp: switch to a pattern rule
We can leverage $(@D) to generate a single pattern rule for all dirstamp
rules. This saves many lines in the output -- normally we create 2 rules
(or 6 lines) per subdir, and projects that use subdirs tend to use them
quite a bit.
In the most extreme & unlikely case (1 subdir, no depdir support), the
line count is the same. In every other case, it's always a win.
Looking at a few real world projects, the line deltas:
* GNU libgloss: +3 -66
* GNU newlib: +3 -714
* GNU sim: +3 -138
There shouldn't be any concerns about portability with $(@D) because:
(0) This has been in POSIX (and beyond) for decades,
(1) We only generate this rule iff we know the dirstamp is in a subdir
(so we'd never have a case where $(@D) would expand to the cwd, and
that is where a few implementations are known to be buggy),
(2) We already rely on $(@D) in our depdir code, and have since 2014
(the Automake 1.16 release).

dirstamp: use append too instead of truncate
We changed the depfiles logic to use >> (append) instead of > (truncate)
due to it being slightly faster & nicer to the disk. Do the same with
the dirstamp files as we only need the files to exist -- we don't care
about their content, and we never put anything in them ourselves. If
someone else were to, we clean them up normally with `make clean`.
Simple test case on my Linux 6.1 w/ext4 on SSD:
@: > foo.txt
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i) close(open("foo.txt", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666));
-> 769 msec
@: >>foo.txt
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i) close(open("foo.txt", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0666));
-> 2 sec

rm: convert more cases to am__rm_f
Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/10828.
Clean up a few more cases where we were doing `test ... || rm ...` to
avoid calling `rm -f` without arguments by leveraging am__rm_f. These
were harder to find in the source due to their constructed nature.
The clean programs rules in particular were much more complicated than
they needed to be. This logic boiled down to two things: delete the
list of programs, and then delete the list without the exeext suffix,
but only if the list of programs is non-empty.
The check-TESTS rule was converted to am__rm_f, but a simplification
was missed where the $list variable is inlined.
* bin/automake.in: Delete test -z logic and always call am__rm_f.
* contrib/check-html.am: Use $(am__rm_f) helper.
* doc/automake.texi: Update examples to match current behavior.
* lib/am/check.am: Inline $list variable.

depend: trim spurious leading tab
These vars are replaced with a list of remove commands that are joined
with a \n and each line always has a leading \t inserted. That means
the literal tab here before the var leads to 2 tabs included in the
output. While not functionally a problem, it can be a bit confusing
when reading the output as it implies something is amiss. Trimming
the tab also aligns with the other .am files which don't include it.
* lib/am/depend.am: Delete tab before %DISTRMS%.

m4: rework silent-rules macros to avoid double expansion
Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/32868.
The AM_SILENT_RULES macro defines all the silent-rules related setup.
It's also called by users to change the default verbosity level. This
leads to a quirk where automake calls it, expands the full context,
and then users call it, and it's fully expanded again.
Instead, let's rename AM_SILENT_RULES to _AM_SILENT_RULES and move the
initialization logic to late in the configure stage. This allows the
user-centric AM_SILENT_RULES call to expand into a single line to set
the default verbosity.
* m4/init.m4: Switch to _AM_SILENT_RULES.
* m4/silent.m4: Rename AM_SILENT_RULES to _AM_SILENT_RULES. Delay
evaluation of AM_SILENT_RULES to the end. Define new AM_SILENT_RULES to
set default rules verbosity.

automake: allow required files to be in subdirs
Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/20300.
The internal method for caching path lookups expects the $filename to
only be a filename. If it's actually a subdir/file itself, then the
cache logic gets confused, and it never matches. This manifests as
AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE([subdir/file]) claiming that the subdir/file path
doesn't exist even when it does.
Before we process any required files, since we already construct the
full path locally, reset the dir & file inputs to the final values.

required file path.

tests: fix yacc C++ tests with some C++ compilers
Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/20031.
The C++ standard does not require symbols be placed into the global
namespace, just in the std namespace. The GNU implementation will
place symbols in both. For our specific code, we don't care either.
Unfortunately, it looks like generated flex code assumes that some
stdlib.h symbols (free, malloc, exit) are in the global namespace,
even when compiling for C++. So when we include <cstdlib> but not
<stdlib.h>, we might not get the symbols in the global namespace.
We can workaround this by including stdlib.h in these tests without
invalidating the point of the tests in general.
* t/yacc-cxx.sh: Include stdlib.h.
* t/yacc-d-cxx.sh: Likewise.
