You can safely replace AM_CONFIG_HEADER with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
(unless you use an ancient version of Automake, in which case
you should update anyway):

Quoting 'info Automake Optional':
| `AC_CONFIG_HEADERS'
|      Automake will generate rules to rebuild these headers.  Older
|      versions of Automake required the use of `AM_CONFIG_HEADER' (*note
|      Macros::); this is no longer the case today.
