Looks like the problem is nested substitution:

automake: warnings are treated as errors
gtk-doc/Makefile.am:109: warning: shell find $(EXAMPLES_SOURCE_DIR: non-POSIX
variable name gtk-doc/Makefile.am:109: (probably a GNU make extension)
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
-- 
main(a){char*c=/*    Schoene Gruesse                         */"B?IJj;MEH"
"CX:;",b;for(a/*    Chris           get my mail address:    */=0;b=c[a++];)
putchar(b-1/(/*               gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
