If you didn't have automake installed, it would have worked exactly as
you describe. The problem is that the script that detects whether
automake is installed and uses the `missing' script as a work-around
does not check which version of automake is needed for the current
makefiles. I agree this is a bug, and I'll send a suggestion for
automake's auto-detection to test the versions of the needed tools,
not only for their existences.
