I got the following as a simpler test case. I have spent some time
trying to understand why it doesn't work, but I haven't figured it out
yet.
@node Top
@top GNU Automake
@insertcopying
@defmac AM_CONDITIONAL (@var{conditional}, @var{condition})
The conditional name, @var{conditional}, should be a simple string
starting with a letter and containing only letters, digits, and
underscores. It must be different from @samp{TRUE} and @samp{FALSE}
that are reserved by Automake.
The shell @var{condition} (suitable for use in a shell @code{if}
statement) is evaluated when @command{configure} is run. Note that you
must arrange for @emph{every} @code{AM_CONDITIONAL} to be invoked every
time @command{configure} is run. If @code{AM_CONDITIONAL} is run
conditionally (e.g., in a shell @code{if} statement), then the result
will confuse @command{automake}.
@end defmac
