Hi Frederic - it would be better to send failures to bug-automake, so
they get bug numbers. But no big deal.

     I'm facing a strange regression between 1.17.92 and 1.18 when
     rebuilding Automake:
     FAIL: t/txinfo-vtexi4

Are you setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in the failing build and if so, to what?
Can you view the failing foo.texi file that gets created?

By default Fedora sets SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to the latest rpm spec file
%changelog date since this mechanism yields a reproducible build if
you rebuild the same rpm.
