Just checked - building automake 1.15.1 is simple. automake-1.16, not so 
simple (aka not working, see below).


Hope this helps! - below for details

There is at least one issue, both in in-tree and out-of-tree builds:

This is the error I get AFTER doing:

Without the symbolic link I get:

My bad - need to read announcements in the reverse order. I found 
automake-1.16.1 and all is fine again.

Thanks - and my apologies for the noise. -- not a bug.
