commit a66cd033b740af00dbb8424aec3a8d5c499cc198
Author: Stefano Lattarini <address@hidden>

     tests: fix spurious failure due to autom4te caching
    
    Reported by Peter Breitenlohner :
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-05/msg00045.html>
    
    * t/suffix.sh: Remove stale autom4te.cache directories, to prevent racy,
    spurious failures (using 'aclocal --force' was not enough, since the cache
    was still picked up by the following automake call).
