confirmed here..

% automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.13.1

and same build.log.

I can confirm that applying the workaround work, though.

[Comment 5 白川間瀬流 2014-12-10 19:45:02 UTC]

Did the situation changed after 1,5 years or is this bug still persistant?

[Comment 6 Viorel Munteanu 2021-04-01 04:43:14 UTC]

Current versions of libpgf use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
