This is a spurious XPASS.  Here's a patch to fix it in there:

   $AUTOCONF
   $AUTOMAKE --include-deps --copy --add-missing

Basically, this adds a new SUBDIR to Makefile.am, and checks if a
subsequent $MAKE will build the subdir Makefile.  IIRC, the exports
are needed so that 'missing' doesn't fool the make into succeeding.
