    You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead.

Please note that although this package is stable and automake-1.13 is ~arch,
this is still a priority fix because ~arch users are immediately affected.

Haven't tracked exact commit, but seem to have been fixed long ago with patches as it runs eautoreconf fine.
