I hope this discussion on the same topic might help:

  <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-01/msg00051.html>

If not, feel free to continue the discussion here.  I'm closing the
bug report automatically opened by your mail in the meantime, because
yours is a (legitimate) question rather than the report of an Automake
bug.
