How does your SUBDIRS tree look like?  Does the toplevel Makefile.am
list test/type and test/exception, going down two levels at once?
If yes, then updating to a newer Automake is your friend.  1.10.1 is
current, and quoting a NEWS excerpt from 1.9:

|  - The restriction that SUBDIRS must contain direct children is gone.
|  Do not abuse.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
