Minimal system info:

  $ uname -n -s -r
  NetBSD gcc70.fsffrance.org 5.1

Commands used to test the snapshot package:

  $ (set -x \

  >   && cat config.log \
  >   && make -j4 all \
  >   && VERBOSE=yes AM_COLOR_TESTS=always make -j4 check \

(BTW, I see you have used bleeding-edge automake from master to build
the snapshot; are you sure that is safe for production code?  Because

Attached are the (compressed) contents of the all.log file.  Let me know
if you need more information.
