I applied Rich's patch and found that qemud/remote_protocol.c was not automatically rebuilt. Since the Makefile rule is an implicit one using a non-default suffix (.x), you have to tell make about the new suffix. In straight make, you'd have to add ".SUFFIXES: .x" but with automake, it is recommended to use the SUFFIXES variable: Make qemud/'s rpcgen rules work. * qemud/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Define to .x before implicit rule.
