The check10.test failure was probably due to a bug in the test, since
fixed in the git version of Automake.  The rest I don't know yet, let's
find out:  please post the output of:

  cd tests
  gmake check VERBOSE=yes TESTS='check10.test pr9.test tar.test'

Also, which system does this happen on?  The output of running
  path/to/automake-1.10.2/lib/config.guess

would be interesting, too.

Please also do likewise for the other report you sent for the other
system.

Thanks!
Ralf
