Hello,
    Attached is my test-log for automake 1.14.1 which sports an alarming
    number of failures despite having upgraded my system's m4 and
    autoconf just fine to their newest versions.

It seems something went horribly wrong with your build.  Can you
reproduce the issue in a clean build?  If yes, can you describe
the exact step you took to get such a build?

Thanks,
   Stefano

Hi Stefano,
    I'd literally run this command sequence inside the sources folder:

    CC="gcc -m64" CFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/usr
    make && make check

    This was having just literally downloaded automake from the Kent mirror, and decompressed it.
    the build itself went just fine, but as you can see, make check threw fits.

Hmm, a better look in your test-suite.log files revealed this clearly
broken definitions (not the doubled quotation):

  ACLOCAL='"/build/automake-1.14.1/t/wrap/aclocal-1.14"'
  AUTOMAKE='"/build/automake-1.14.1/t/wrap/automake-1.14"'

Can you report the output of an 'env' invocation?  You seem to have
a borked environment...

I have no definitions for either of those in my env block. Attached is a sanitised version (removal of what user I'm logged in as and other sensitive info).
I have to note that this is the only thing I've ever `make check`'d which has failed. I'm not running a standard distro as what I'm running is derived off of CLFS.
