automake 1.6 problem.

[Jason Thomas]

Hi all, anyone have ideas on what todo about this its on debian unstable
with automake 1.6.3:

address@hidden:~/src/debian/grub/upstream/grub$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.6.3

I configured it with --enable-maintainer-mode. From what I've found in
my searching. ASFLAGS has changed to CCASFLAGS and there are some
automake macros that go into the configure script to deal with CCAS
stuff. AM_PROG_AS is the macro name I think.

heres a url that might shed some light:
