Hi, gang! I discovered that there is a problem with automake version
1.4 on Red Hat 6.1, and possibly on other systems where it was built
from an unpatched automake-1.4.tar.gz. Red Hat 6.2 and above correct
the problem, but Red Hat didn't issue an update RPM for 6.1. You can
install the RPM from the 6.2 distribution, or you can apply this patch
to correct the problem:

The relevance to ht://Dig is that I noticed the missing "d" in all the
Makefile.in files in 3.2.0b3, so someone built them from a buggy automake.
By the way, what options are we supposed to give automake to generate the
Makefile.in files? I seem to get different results all the time, even
apart from the bug.
