I don't know what's wrong with --traces, however I can see that
diagnostics produced by Automake are confusing.  It shouldn't
say AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is too old if it didn't find it.

I'm installing the following change on HEAD and branch-1-7.

        * automake.in (scan_autoconf_files): Don't complain that
        AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an old version if it was not found.
