Maybe he can at least fix the permission problem. This should be a
smaller issue (at least compared to parallel configure).
I don't think Zack plans to release a new Automake. He's got enough on his plate
just doing Autoconf.
That being said, we should be able to fix this particular problem by updating
Automake master, propagating these fixes into Gnulib, and having Bison use the
Gnulib versions. I did some of that that by patching Automake master's
install-sh and mkinstalldirs files, resulting in the attached Gnulib patch which
I've installed into Gnulib master. Hope this helps.
