You mean adding the file via tm_file and assume it is passed to the
Makefile via tm_file_list?
Will test and report back.

My stand is that (as described) there is no working support for gnuspev1
currently (neither upstream nor in Debian). Even worse, the (broken)
support for it stands in the way of gnuspe/powerpcspe.
Anyway, will test tm_file/tm_file_list as described above and report back.
