Hi Eric,
In this change,
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=33c8286ea93bec94c46
you increased the minimum version of automake from 2.52 to 2.60.
Since libvirt is starting to use gnulib, and has a pretty hard
requirement that it work with autoconf-2.59, I need to know
why you chose 2.60. Nothing I saw in email or commit logs
even mentioned that part.
I propose to reduce it to 2.59, if at all possible.
here's the obvious patch:
Subject: [PATCH] Let these macros work also with autoconf-2.59.
* m4/getline.m4: Require only autoconf-2.59, not yet 2.60.
* m4/getdelim.m4: Likewise.

Support versions of autoconf prior to 2.59c.
