This seems to be generated by recent versions of automake. It isn't
an issue if you use a separate build directory, but not everyone
does that.
(cherry picked from commit 0858cdddc7)
Some distros may use target-specific prefix for ar program (like
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar). Automake can handle that since version 1.12.
Since we still support automake 1.8 (not that it is really crucial,
but ubuntu 12.04 ships with automake 1.11.3), make the code
conditional.
Update a bit the gitignore files (automake creates some files in config/).
Based on a patch from Nikolay Orlyuk <virkony@gmail.com>.
Many test are not running, but if changed the '-dbg xxx' to '-dbg any'
then all of sudden they pass ...
(The buffered output of lyx is often disrupted too early with 'kill -9',
so the expected data are not available for the appropriate test)
Setting up .gitignore or .git/info/excludes is something that should
be done. Not doing it makes it a lot harder to see actual new files
that should be added.
