[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

This is a Devuan system, w/ the following installed:
- GNU Autoconf 2.69c
- GNU Make 4.1
- GNU bash, versione 4.4.12(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
- Linux miasma 5.7.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.7.10-1~bpo10+1 (2020-07-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried to research similar failure reports in both bug-automake
and automake mailing lists, but did not find anything relevant.

Is there anything else i can provide to help diagnose/fix this?

What version of autoconf? This seems a problematic message. It doesn't
happen for me with autoconf 2.69. -k

    autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69c

AFAIK this bug has been resolved in the meantime by Zack Weinberg via
changes in development autoconf + automake. Closing.
