Three of those failures are spurious ones (already fixed in the development version), and one of them is mostly due of a misconfiguration in your Fortran/C++ compilers (or combination thereof), and even if it turns out to be an actual bug in Automake, is one that would only affect projects linking Fortran with C++ -- not very common I'd say.

Waiting too see if the last failure gets resolved somehow, so that I'll be able to close this bug report. Thanks, Stefano
