I looked into this some more and did a diff between the automake scripts
version 1.6.2 and 1.6.3. The following diff seems to be at the origin of
the present problem. If I revert this patch in automake-1.6.3, then
abiword builds OK. I don't speak this auto language, so I have no idea
what is going on, but it looks like a newly introduced bug that leads to
a loop when automake is called by abiword's autogen.sh. The loop
eventually terminates (after several hundred iterations), but automake
then doesn't continue correctly.
