I had the same error, after a bit of googling around I found that the autmake script needs >=automake 1.6 to use this syntax. But I had automake 1.7 installed, so still no "real" explanation for the error.
But if you take a look at the automake package, there are different versions of automake (1.4 - 1.7) installed, and if you call automake (actually, the wrapper around the different automake versions), you get automake 1.5 by default.
The am-wrapper.pl script looks (beside some other things) for a environment variable called WANT_AUTOMAKE. And if you export/whatever your shell needs for exporting variables this variable to 1.7 (e.g. bash: export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7), you get the right automake version and gift-fasttrack-cvs compiles without error :)
That worked perfectly. Now, I've got another issue. Why are all the giFT clients masked?
