Whilst trying to build a copy of yelp from git:
Running automake-1.11...
automake-1.11: unrecognized option `--force'.
automake-1.11: Try `/usr/bin/automake-1.11 --help' for more information.
This causes the build to fail. automake-1.9 doesn't have the --force
option either. In fact, AFAICT, automake-1.7 doesn't even have this
option. I've attached a patch to remove this option, since it doesn't
seem like any reasonably recent version of automake supports it at all.
