Using custom compilations rules in a Makefile.am:

# cat Makefile.am:
${ARCH}/%.$(OBJEXT): %.S
        test -d ${ARCH} || mkdir ${ARCH}
        ${CCASCOMPILE} -o $@ -c $<

${ARCH}/%.$(OBJEXT): %.c
        test -d ${ARCH} || mkdir ${ARCH}
        ${COMPILE} -o $@ -c $<

# autoreconf -fi
autoreconf: `aclocal.m4' is unchanged
Makefile.am:5: redefinition of `${ARCH}/%.$(OBJEXT)'...
Makefile.am:1: ... `${ARCH}/%.$(OBJEXT)' previously defined here.

1. automake-1.6.3 and previous versions did not complain.
2. automake's complaint is wrong. These are two different make rules.

Could it be that automake-1.6d is confused about variables (VAR=..) and
rules (VAR: ...)?
