Nope, not better than the version before:

Did you run the testsuite with a particular PATH or environment setup? I
ask because, when I tried to reproduce your failures on the same machine,
I wasn't able to.

In particular, almost all of the reported failures are due to something
like this:

$ ./configure am_cv_CC_dependencies_compiler_type=...
...
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
not ok 1 - [in-tree build] configure
FAIL: t/depcomp-lt-cpp.tap 1 - [in-tree build] configure

which reeks of spurious failure and/or environment botch-up to me.

Thanks,
  Stefano

Thanks for keeping me posted.  I'm sending this answer to the bug ticket
as well (in CC:), to give it some "closure" :-)
