automake.git has multiple branches.  Right now, the master branch is stuck
at 1.10a, but Ralf will be fixing that in the future.  But the next branch
is at 1.10c (post-release).  You probably want to do:

$ git checkout --track origin/next -b next

then rerun ./bootstrap to build automake 1.10c.

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.10b.tar.gz

or read the release announcement:

Likewise for the just-released autoconf-2.63b:
