To give some context, this happens (for me, at least) in cmd-line-utils/libedit.

I have automake-1.6. (Mac OS X, 10.3.5, if it matters.)

Yes, it works for me, but we shouldn't have to do that, right?
I think this is a compounding of 2 problems:
Problem 1: configure has automake-1.7 hard-coded, so a build will not succeed if automake is needed unless you have precisely that version (or at least appear to). INSTALL-SOURCE says any automake >= 1.5 will do, by the way. Note that this is why missing is giving the generic "something is missing" error message rather than the specific "automake is missing" message.
Problem 2: Something is missing/wrong in the source (presumably in cmd-line-utils/libedit) that triggers the need for automake, exposing proble 1. I note that mysql 4.1.3 also has automake-1.7 hard-coded, but I did not run into this problem building 4.1.3.
