That seems to lead to:

configure.ac:119: error: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.15,
configure.ac:119: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:119: comes from Automake 1.12.  You should recreate
configure.ac:119: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
configure.ac:119: warning: The 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro is deprecated, and its 
use is discouraged.
configure.ac:119: You should use the Autoconf-provided 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro 
instead,
configure.ac:119: and use '$(MKDIR_P)' instead of '$(mkdir_p)'in your 
Makefile.am files.
configure.ac:39: installing './ar-lib'

It works if I just run 'autoreconf -vif'.  Is that fine?

I have to additionally add autoconf and libtool as inputs for that by
the way.

The final result would be:


  (arguments
   `(#:phases
     ;; Do this right after unpack because there's a danling symlink to
     ;; '/usr/local/share/automake-1.12/ar-lib' which causes a "no such
     ;; file or directory" during shebang patching.
     (alist-cons-after
      'unpack 'autoreconf
      (lambda* (#:key inputs #:allow-other-keys)
        (zero? (system* "autoreconf" "-vif")))
      %standard-phases)))
