Here is the promised patch. Can you confirm it works for you?
I'm adding bug-autoconf in CC because, from the first discussion linked
above, it appears the original issue had been fixed, but it must have
been unwittingly reintroduced in the meantime :-( Maybe some autoconfer
wants to take a fresh look at the problem ...
Thanks,
Stefano

Subject: [PATCH] tests: avoid a spurious failure on MacOS X 10.6.8
Fixes automake bug#14706.
* t/depcomp2.sh: Strip, from the redirected ./configure stderr, the
possible error message "rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory", generated
by cleanup code that doesn't cater to the existence of *.dSYM
directories sometimes created by the compiler on MacOS X. This
"massaging" of ./configure stderr is legitimate, since the spurious
error message is due not to automake-related code, but to a know
buglet/limitation of either Autoconf or Mac OS X bundles gcc:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2007-11/msg00017.html>
Actually, from that link it appears that the original Autoconf issue
had been fixed, but it must have been re-introduced in the meantime :-(
