Please name the tests; I don't think my test 28 (DESTDIR with in-package
deplibs) is your test 28. Is it `Support for older m4 interface.'
Then please try dropping --force, similar for your test 29 which should
then fail, too.

That's a bug, thanks for catching. Does it work if _LT_CHECK_BUILDDIR
is only m4_require'd?
I assume if that's fixed, there will still be more issues.

The "older m4 interface" tests should not be skipped.
I would not be surprised if the nonrecursive libltdl tests required a
newer Automake, and am not sure about the recursive libltdl ones, but
again, I'm not even sure which ones you see failing.
Cheers,
