Why?  Three of those failures are spurious ones (already fixed in the
development version), and one of them is mostly due of a misconfiguration
in your Fortran/C++ compilers (or combination thereof), and even if it
turns out to be an actual bug in Automake, is one that would only affect
projects linking Fortran with C++ -- not very common I'd say.

OK.  Waiting too see if the last failure gets resolved somehow, so that I'll
be able to close this bug report.
