Indeed.

Attached is a patch which fixes things for and requires automake >=1.12.

(Note that automake has some magic to select the version of automake which was
previously run in a directory, rather than just selecting the latest version
installed, so you'll need to distclean or 'WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.12 ./bootstrap.sh'
to build in an already configured directory after applying this patch)
