Thanks for updating the automake package, impressive work! All the internal tests pass now for me. Here is what I get now for guix with automake-1.12.6 (from guix) and autoconf-2.69 (from debian).

 

autoreconf returns:

configure.ac:18: warning: The 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro is deprecated, and will soon be removed.

configure.ac:18: You should use the Autoconf-provided 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro instead,

configure.ac:18: and use '$(MKDIR_P)' instead of '$(mkdir_p)'in your Makefile.am files.

 

AC_PROG_MKDIR_P was introduced in autoconf-2.60, so should be safe to use.

 

Then ./configure yields:

checking for the Guix system type... x86_64-linux

./configure: line 6572: syntax error near unexpected token `GUILE,'

./configure: line 6572: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GUILE, guile-2.0)'

 

I am using pkg-config-0.26 from debian.
