Hi Carl.  Thanks for the report, and sorry for the awful delay.

This is the same as bug#14706, a spurious testsuite failure which has
already been fixed in the git repository.  The fix will appear in
Automake 1.14.1 (whenever that is released).

This version of makeinfo/Texinfo is too old, modern automake versions
(1.13 and later) require at lease version 4.9.  Please update your
Texinfo installation if you can.

The same considerations apply to these other failures:

Since all the failures where either already fixed or due to mismatched tools
versions, I'm closing this bug report.

Libtool is a separate project; you should report bugs and testsuite
failures to bug-libtool <at> gnu.org.

Thanks,

I'm trying to make automate on my MacBook with Darwin 11.4.2. It completed the 'make' OK, but 'make check' threw a number of failures.

I've attached the test log for your information. 
[config.log (application/octet-stream, attachment)]
[test-suite.log (application/octet-stream, attachment)]
[Message part 7 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm not sure what the meaning of these failures is. I'm getting similar results trying to build lib tool: The 'make' completes, but 'make check' creates failures.
