https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=2f16e19ccf16 The VPATH and .LIBPATTERN part comes from bug 243065, and was used to handle dependencies in the form -lfoo. We've stopped using these dependencies with bug 584474. They need to be removed, otherwise make tries to do unuseful things with the rules that install in $(DIST)/lib: config/rules.mk:832: Commands were specified for file `libmozglue.a.desc' at config/rules.mk:1561, config/rules.mk:832: but `libmozglue.a.desc' is now considered the same file as `../../dist/lib/libmozglue.a.desc'. config/rules.mk:832: Commands for `../../dist/lib/libmozglue.a.desc' will be ignored in favor of those for `libmozglue.a.desc'. make[1]: Circular ../../dist/lib/libmozglue.a.desc <- ../../dist/lib/libmozglue.a.desc dependency dropped. Components are not treated because of the commands that need to be run after the files are installed. That needs ad-hoc targets, and that should be the object of another bug.
