Yep, you need a newer autoconf and automake.

I don't understand. Which package reports this error?

Yep, that's the current CVS version.

What is the exact reason automake claims for failure?

Yep, it should only matter for the top-level directory.

It's not always legal to link a static library into a shared library.
It usually works if the library is position-independent, but most
static libraries aren't, so libtool stays on the safe side and doesn't
currently link a static library into a shared library on Linux. When
libtool decides it won't link a library into another library, it links
any program linked with the library with its dependencies too.
However, the inter-library dependency code was introduced quite
recently, and it hasn't been ported to all platforms, so we (libtool)
may be too much on the safe side. However, it should be quite easy to
port inter-library dependency code to other pltaforms, and we're just
waiting on feedback from people from the net.

You should only need them if you modify any of the configure-related
files. However, if you do, they should be very up-to-date.

Kaffe is linked with such static libraries.

Fixed.

Probably because they're updated in alphabetical order, so their
relative timestamps end up incorrect, so that they seem out of date.

That's the default.
> 3. Why gc-block.c is missing in kaffe/kaffevm ?
It was removed, but I had failed to update Makefile.am
