Thanks, I installed a workaround in trunk bzr 117831, and am marking 
this as done.

At some point we should increment the required Automake version, as 1.11 
is getting pretty old.  RHEL 6.5 can't build Emacs any more anyway (as 
RHEL's Autoconf version is too old) so RHEL 6.5 users could grab a newer 
Automake at the same time they grab a newer Autoconf.

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.
