I respectfully disagree.

Yes
consider this simple code base:
$ cat configure.ac
AC_PREREQ([2.63])
AC_INIT([foo], [0])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.11 -Wall foreign])
AC_PROG_CC
LT_INIT
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)
$ cat Makefile.am
lib_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
libfoo_la_SOURCES = foo.c
$ touch foo.c
with automake-1.11.5, everything works grea
