Comment (by igloo):
Hrm, the reason you get the messages 5 times is that autoreconf doesn't
fail as a result of them, so we don't know anything has gone wrong and
keep going. As we autoreconf in `ghc` and
`libraries/{base,Win32,readline,unix}` the messages are given 5 times. I'm
not sure what we can do about that.
As for detecting automake, the problem is that we don't call it directly
ourselves, so we don't know where it is (particularly when autoreconf
isn't installed in the standard location).
Has anyone got any suggestions, or should I just close the bug?
