 I had same problem with automake 1.4, updating to automake 1.5 
corrected this. Attached patch makes automake version 1.5 minimum. See 
also my last night mail about automake version detection.


 Currently autogen.sh fails for me at configure phase:

checking for working gettimeofday... ./configure: line 15150: syntax 
error near unexpected token `FC_CHECK_GETTIMEOFDAY_RUNTIME(,'
./configure: line 15150: `  FC_CHECK_GETTIMEOFDAY_RUNTIME(,'

 It seeems that autogen.sh generates acinclude.m4 without including 
FC_CHECK_GETTIMEOFDAY_RUNTIME in it.
