Wow. So you updated Autoconf to current version 2.65 but use an Automake from the last millenium, and with security bugs? Your system deserves a newer Automake as well. :-) I think we should not change the test to cope better with Automake 1.4, these failures should remain visible (if only to make developers aware of which versions are still in use).
