Then I'd say this is not an automake bug, nor a testsuite weakness.

Uh? Where us this `lib64' coming from? Have you maybe overriden `${libdir}'
in your `config.site' file?
The failure here is being caused by the fact that the libraries are apparently
being installed in ${prefix}/lib64 rather than in ${prefix}/lib. This could
be solved by passing a proper `--libdir' switch to the configure invocation;
see attached patch.

Again that `lib64' ...

... which is causing this spurious failure. The fix is the same as for
`pr300-lib.test' (again, see attached patch).
Bruno, could you please try the patch to see if it solves your problem?
Thanks,
Stefano

Subject: [PATCH] tests: fix spurious failures in 'pr300*.test'
This change fixes automake bug#10426.
* tests/pr300-lib.test: Call configure with an explicit '--libdir'
option, to avoid spurious failures due to users possibly overriding
'${libdir}' in ther config.site files.
* tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Likewise.
