Fixed! Ralf and Al Viro found the kernel problem, made evident in the release
2.6.36 for mips only. Fixed here:
http://git.linux-mips.org/?p=linux.git;a=commit;h=915bcf007cbf9370fa0f3a57b27cf7fdc45b3964

I reported to automake because it was the very only part of the system failing.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Lluís.

Thanks for reporting and having this tracked down, I'm closing the Automake bug.
