Automake does not have specific support for anything so this concept is 
utterly alien to it.

Libtool does have specific support for certain targets/tools, and 
Automake may optionally make use of it.

Unlike something like CMake, Automake just keeps on working using well 
established patterns.

It is possible that something might stop working on a 30 year old 
system, but this would not be noticed unless there is a bug report.
