Wow.  So you updated Autoconf to current version 2.65 but use an
Automake from the last millenium, and with security bugs?  Your
system deserves a newer Automake as well.  :-)

I think we should not change the test to cope better with Automake 1.4,
these failures should remain visible (if only to make developers aware
of which versions are still in use).

Cheers,
Ralf
