Subject: bug#32262: cannot build automake-1.16 on AIX (v6.1 and xlc); automake-1-15.1 builds fine.
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2018 19:10:34 +0200

Just checked - building automake 1.15.1 is simple. automake-1.16, not so 
simple (aka not working, see below).


Hope this helps! - below for details


Target "clean" is up to date.

There is at least one issue, both in in-tree and out-of-tree builds:

root <at> x066:[/data/prj/gnu/automake-1.16]make V=1
        :  && lib/install-sh -c -d doc  && ./pre-inst-env /usr/bin/perl 
./doc/help2man --output=doc/automake-1.16.1 automake-1.16
help2man: can't get `--help' info from automake-1.16
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 255.

This is the error I get AFTER doing:

# ln -s lib/Automake Automake

Without the symbolic link I get:
