I applied the patch yesterday for the Hydra builder, so builds done with the tarball from build #600499 or later have the patch: http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/automake-master/all I’ll let you analyze the results. ;-) Besides, python11.test fails, whereas it should just be skipped, I think (Python isn’t available in the build environment.) Thanks, Ludo’.
