Subject: unexpanded @AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY@ in generated Makefiles

Package: emacs
Version: 24.4.50

Current trunk on RHEL6.5.
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.65

My generated src/Makefile (and others) contains unexpanded output variables
AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY, AM_V, and AM_DEFAULT_V:
    
    AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY = @AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY@
    
    AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_@AM_V@)
    am__v_CC_ = $(am__v_CC_@AM_DEFAULT_V@)

If I switch to

automake (GNU automake) 1.14

the issue goes away, but configure.ac claims that automake 1.11 suffices.
