That GNU automake bug was fixed upstream long time ago:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=commit;h=v1.11-52-gc150e6c
This fix was merged both to stable and development branches of automake,
so I'm sure that new automake releases will have the bug fixed.

Since the automake I use to prepare release tarballs is also fixed,
I think it's OK to apply the change now.
