Just for the record, automake/aclocal 1.11 is needed as stuff in
gnutls26 generates warnings (treated as errors) on newer, 1.14:
"""
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
automake: warnings are treated as errors
configure.ac:41: warning: The 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro is deprecated, and
its use is discouraged.
configure.ac:41: You should use the Autoconf-provided 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P'
macro instead,
configure.ac:41: and use '$(MKDIR_P)' instead of '$(mkdir_p)'in your
Makefile.am files.
configure.ac:33: installing 'build-aux/compile'
/usr/share/automake-1.14/am/ltlibrary.am: warning: 'libgnutls.la':

/usr/share/automake-1.14/am/ltlibrary.am: archiver requires 'AM_PROG_AR'

[... snip, similar repetitions ... ]
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
