How strange...  

Please rerun this test (if it was not the last run), then go
into tests/testSubDir/.

What does this directory contains?  Is there an `aclocal.m4' file?
(If so please send it.)

Another think that may help is to run the above `aclocal'
command with a `--verbose' flag appended (still in the
tests/testSubDir/ directory):

/usr/bin/perl5.00503 
/usr/home/emma/automake/work/automake-1.7/tests/testSubDir/../../aclocal -I 
/usr/home/emma/automake/work/automake-1.7/tests/testSubDir/../../m4 
--acdir=/usr/home/emma/automake/work/automake-1.7/tests/../m4 -I macros 
--verbose

| *** texinfo13.test fails because the texi2dvi that SuSE ships bails out:
[...]
| /usr/bin/texi2dvi: Unknown or ambiguous option `-o'.
| /usr/bin/texi2dvi: Try `--help' for more information.

Ah, I forgot that.  This test case requires Texinfo 4.1 or
greater, so you can ignore the failure.

[...]
| $ /usr/bin/texi2dvi --version
| texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.0) 0.43
