The point is this: we generally dislike versioned executables, so we
removed the versioned one _AND_ patched Automake to no longer use them.
So I guess the problem you have is that you have a Makefile generated by
some non-OpenPKG Automake and now it cannot re-generate itself with the
OpenPKG Automake, right? I guess that once you run "automake" manually,
the Makefiles will work fine again, right?
