Hello,

I also encounter this bug.  :-(
The tricky part is that it says it checks for _newer_ or equal than 1.4,
but it does NOT check for the newer versions.

When automake1.8 is not supported, then please use attached patch,
which does the check for newer versions.

IMNSHO the current approach, lock on automake1.4, only hides problems.


Cheers
