Hi!

This has to be a problem of every gentoo linux or gentoo/alt-prefix
installation on any host system: automake is a link to am-wrapper.sh
which in turn looks at Makefile.in to find out which version of automake
to use. If there is no Makefile.in it uses the newest (1.10) .... Arg.
This means, that it will allways use 1.9.6 here, until 1.9.6 is
uninstalled from the system (yes i missed it before, it _is_ installed
of course...).

So of course this is not a libtool bug. I will talk to gentoo guys to
further follow this. Thanks for the help so far.

Cheers, Markus
