+  - Analysis of make flags in Automake-generated rules has been made more
+    robust, and more future-proof.  For example, in presence of make that
+    (like '-I') take an argument, the characters in said argument will no
+    longer be spuriously considered as a set of additional make options.
+    In particular, automake-generated rules will no longer spuriously
+    believe to be running in dry mode ("make -n") if run with an invocation
+    like "make -I noob"; nor will they believe to be running in keep-going
+    mode ("make -k") if run with an invocation like "make -I kool"
+    (automake bug#12554).
