No.  See Makefile.maint, where the 'fetch' target explicitly fetches the
git master copies of some scripts, including 'compile'.  As long as you
run fetch after bootstrap, there is no need for you to do anything else
at all.

You should not need to use git Automake for this, and please don't,
because it currently carries a small regression over 1.11.1.  I'll
fix it ASAP, but just haven't had the time for it yet.

Thanks,
Ralf
