Hi, I just built automake 1.13.3 on my ubuntu system (precise pangolin 12.04.2, gcc-4.6.3, 
binutils-2.22, bash-4.2.25) and the test suite failed 3 tests.
At the end of `make check' I am told for reporting the results to you, so I'm doing this.

============================================================================
