What does SUBDIRS expand to in kaffe/kaffevm/systems/Makefile?

It's in kaffe/kaffevm/systems/$(THREAD_SYSTEM)/Makefile

Neither do I. How did you switch from one threading system to
another? Did you update after I installed the automake patches for
oskit-pthreads?

Ok, I've just installed a dirty hack that should suffice for a while,
until I can implement a more general mechanism of version checking.
If you don't have the required version of autoconf/automake, the
makefiles will just touch the automake/autoconf-generated files, as if
you didn't have them.
But you'll have to run configure once before it starts working after
you update, otherwise your makefiles will try to run the old tools and
fail. You'd better make sure all Makefile.ins and aclocal.m4 are also
unmodified WRT the versions in CVS.

This means we won't have automatic dependency tracking, which you
still haven't been able to enjoy. automake performs dependency
tracking *while* it compiles a program, so there's no additional cost
or waiting time for `make depend', and end-users won't be bugged by
that.
