  Yes, this part:
CAMD_UserGuide.pdf:
        echo '\begin{verbatim}' > camd_h.tex
        expand -8 $(top_srcdir)/Include/camd.h >> camd_h.tex
        echo '\end{verbatim}' >> camd_h.tex
        -ln -s $(srcdir)/*.{tex,bib} .
        $(PDFLATEX) CAMD_UserGuide
        $(BIBTEX)  CAMD_UserGuide
        $(PDFLATEX) CAMD_UserGuide
        $(PDFLATEX) CAMD_UserGuide

 Unfortunately, different echos handles excapes differently, see e.g.
https://helpmanual.io/man1/echo-posix/
 In /bin/sh (dash) echo always converts thoose excapes (a' la sysV),
 where bash needs -e to do it (a' la BSD).

 One could replace the echos with printf "%s\n" as in
$ printf "%s\n" '\begin' | od -a
0000000   \   b   e   g   i   n  nl

Note: echo '\e' is said to be undefined in dashs manual.

Also, the $(srcdir) seems defined as ".", and I get this useless link:
# ls -l
total 140
lrwxrwxrwx 1 portage portage    13 Dec 16 16:58 '*.{tex,bib}' -> './*.{tex,bib}'

It will probably, cannot test just now, rust is compiling....
