Automake 1.7.5 Check failure

[Keith Hopper]

Greetings,
     I attach as a small archive the config.log file and a bug.log
resulting from my trying yesterday afternoon to build, check and install
automake.

     The interesting thing is that the previous check run - when I was not
generating a log file - failed 149 tests and did not run 37. This is
different to the number of failures and 'not run' in the attached log!

     The system is slackware linux running kernel 2.2.19, gcc reports its
version as 2.95.3 , lic is version 2.2.5 and autoconf version 2.57.

     I presume that it is not safe to use the built version?!?

                        Over to you,

                                                Keith Hopper
