I don't think we've come across an example where it was necessary to put
compiled programs into BUILT_SOURCES.  For one, that would mean that
cross compilation will not work.  For another: can you please explain
what you are trying to achieve?  I'm sure there is another way.

Other than that, you're right: automatic $(EXEEXT) appending is not done
for BUILT_SOURCES.

Thanks,
Ralf
