Unfortunately, this was just *too* easy - in other words, if you happen
to build with an older version of automake that does not understand the
"serial-tests" option, it will just blow up...
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --no-force
tests/Makefile.am:12: option `serial-tests' not recognized
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
... haven't seen *that* much "red" in the buildbot status in quite a while
- basically, everything older than a few years (FreeBSD 8, CentOS 6,
Debian 7, Ubuntu 12.04...)
David suggested making this conditional, but I couldn't find anything in
the docs, so I think I'll revert the patch tomorrow-ish and reopen the
trac ticket... :-(
(Buildbots can be fixed, of course, but what we have now would blow up in
the same way for all users of a git checkout. Thankyouverymuch, dear
Autotools community...)
