The commit mentions that != is just a compatibility alias for the
pre-existing $(shell ...) command, which is what I have always used, didn't
know about !=.

Is 'shell' a GNU Make only feature that would still have generated a
warning from automake, like the previous 'wildcard'? Otherwise it's the
obvious solution here.
