IMHO this is definitely post 2.0: it doesn't fix an important bug.
Moreover it's wrong, too: the $(srcdir) are there for a reason.
Sorry.

If you're out to relax the requirement for GNU make, then I suggest
you give some information as to which make implementations you have
successfully tested with.

Cheers,
Ralf
