This seems to be the issue.  This macro is (correctly) traced by your
automake, but seemingly not by your aclocal nor by autoconf.  That's
weird, though, because autoconf/lib/autom4te.in contains an entry for
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR since 2006.

Do you perchance have an old installed autom4te.cfg file lying around
somewhere, and autom4te is picking that up, instead of the in-tree one?
Or is the lib/autom4te.cfg in the build tree not up to date wrt. the
lib/autom4te.in file in the source tree?

Do you have a symlink $HOME/.autom4te.cfg or another non-plain file
at that location?

BTW, what file system does your build tree reside on?

BTW2, what shell is your /bin/sh, that the parallel autotest tests are
skipped?

Thanks,
Ralf
