When testing the latest automake with autoconf-2.69, all of automake's tests pass. But with the latest autoconf (built from master) in my path, two tests "FAIL", as below. I bisected to v2.69-181-g78ad1b0b, aka https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=v2.69-181-g78ad1b0b
I plan to release automake-1.16.2 very soon (from master), maybe even tomorrow. This does not block my planned automake release, but it'd be great to resolve soon, nonetheless.
